Antony's agent acknowledged the possibility of Antony's transfer in the January transfer market.
Currently, the player Manchester United wants to clean up the most is Antony. Antony, who is considered the worst recruit in Manchester United's history, recorded a transfer fee of 9.5 million euros (about 144.7 billion won), but was not active at all. United now want to sell Antony as the swamp of sluggishness deepens after his first season as a main player.
However, there was talk that Antony did not want to leave Manchester United. Since last summer, Manchester United has tried to sell Antony, but agent Antony has blocked the transfer rumors himself. Last July "Antoni's plan is clear. It's only Manchester United. He wants to stay. He only focuses on Manchester United" he said.
However, Antony's playing time decreased further in the 2024-2025 season. Then now Antony has changed his mind. Agent Antony said in an interview with Give Me Sports in England on the 26th (Korea time) that he had received a transfer offer. "Many clubs approached us for Antony's transfer in January," he said. They wanted to understand Antony's situation, so they were able to confirm that there was a specific interest."
Still, agent Antony "To be honest, Manchester United never told us they were interested in selling or renting Antony. I've never received such a call. Manchester United leaders have never said they want to sell Antony, although we are looking at transfer rumors."
He went on to say that `Antoni's future is very closely related to Manchester United's interests. If the club thinks it's a good idea to loan Antony in January so he can have more time and regain trust, we'll work together on that option. Otherwise, Antony is working hard to regain his position and show his best performance under his new manager, Hoobeng Amorim", leaving the possibility of a transfer clear.
We don't know which club is trying to sign Antony, but it's great news for Manchester United. This is because most eyes saw that it would be difficult to sell Antony. Antony has a significant weekly salary as well as a transfer fee. It is receiving 200,000 pounds (about 360 million won). He is receiving more expensive money than Son Heung-min. Few clubs were expected to fully recruit such players.
If there is even a rental offer, Manchester United can run the season by taking out even a little of the weekly salary. With the ease created by sending Antony out, it may be easy to recruit a new player.
