Plans for Manchester United’s summer transfer window have already begun, and we examine potential departures as well as potential arrivals.
According to reports, Manchester United wants to get rid of Antony.
After spending £86 million to transfer from Ajax to Old Trafford in 2022, the Brazilian has had difficulty establishing himself there. Jadon Sancho, Donny van de Beek, Sergio Reguilon, Hannibal Mejbri, Alvaro Fernandez, Joe Hugill, and Mateo Mejia have all been let go by Erik ten Hag thus far. But the Evening Standard claims that more work needs to be done.
According to rumours, Antony and Sancho may be the next to relocate permanently to Saudi Arabia. The team hopes to get back a portion of the £155 million they paid for both wingers.
With a one-year option to extend his contract until June 2027, Antony is reportedly valued at roughly £50 million by United. Despite drawing high-profile stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Sadio Mane, and Karim Benzema, the Saudi Pro League is rumoured to have restricted transfer budgets this month.
Additionally, Sky Sports Joshua Zirkzee, a forward for Bologna, has drawn the attention of United, according to Germany’s Florian Plettenberg. Despite having gone through Bayern Munich’s youth, the 22-year-old found it difficult to break through at the senior level.
Since then, a lot of elite teams have expressed interest in the Netherlands forward. He is reportedly seen as a possible substitute for Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, who have been having difficulty scoring goals. There have reportedly been “early talks,” according to CBS Sports.
