- Brazil forward expected to sign contract to 2027
- ‘Everything is about money,’ bemoans Ajax manager
Manchester United are poised to buy Antony after agreeing to pay Ajax €100m (£84m) for the Brazil forward, who is expected to sign a contract on Monday.
Last week the Dutch club rejected an offer of €90m – United’s third bid for the 22-year-old – but talks have continued in recent days and United made a breakthrough on Sunday after a smooth series of discussions. Antony is understood to have agreed a deal to 2027 with an option for a further year.
