Desperate Antony has told Ajax Chiefs he wants to leave the club this summer.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Antony has once again made it clear to the Ajax hierarchy that he wants to leave the club this summer as Manchester United’s latest official bid was rejected by the Dutch giants.
Antony reiterated his desire to leave Ajax in an exclusive interview with Fabrizio Romano. The transfer expert relayed what Antony said to him in a YouTube video.
The Brazilian winger has spoken of his long-term desire to leave the Dutch club and hopes for a resolution before the end of the transfer window.
Antony is United’s top target for the last five days of the window. However, Ajax are not making it easy for their former boss Erik ten Hag to complete a deal.
The 22-year-old was left out of Ajax’s squad for their win at Sparta Rotterdam last weekend, as the player’s wish to leave became clear. But United’s latest bid has still been turned down.
Antony said: “Since February of this year my agents came to Amsterdam to inform Ajax of my desire to leave the club to face a new challenge and that some of interested clubs would arrive and with them is entirely a great offer.
I’ve been insisting on this term since February so that the club could rebuild the team with peace of mind and right timing.” In a message to the Ajax supporters, Antony insists the club will always be in his heart.
However, he hopes they understand his wish to progress in the world of football. Antony concluded: “I was very happy in Amsterdam. I won titles, made friends and built part of my career but now I reinforce that I’m ready and full of motivations to follow my story and my dreams.
“People need to listen to me and understand that my motivation moves me towards happiness. I need to continue performing at the high level. Ajax will always be in my heart.
“I hope Ajax fans understand me because the future for a football player is a totally uncertain thing and the opportunities can be unique.”
Ajax star Antony is growing tired of his side’s stance as the summer transfer window nears its end after Manchester United’s latest offer was swiftly rejected.
