Manchester United’s long-winded pursuit of Antony is coming to its conclusion by making the Ajax star the most expensive Eredivisie player in the Dutch league’s history.
According to ESPN, the two sides have reportedly agreed to a €95 million ($94.8 million) with €5 million in add-ons to sign the 22-year-old to a five-year contract. The reported fee easily breaks the record set by former Ajax stars Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt (€75 million) in their respective moves to Barcelona and Juventus in 2019.
Since arriving from São Paulo in 2020, Antony has recorded 18 goals and 14 assists in 57 league appearances for Ajax while also helping the club to two Eredivisie titles.
