Manchester United give in to Cristiano Ronaldo's demands

Ten Hag wants to solve this saga as soon as possible to recruit one of his best players in his previous stage in Amsterdam. This in light of the possible departure of Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.

However, Ajax are asking €80 million for the Brazilian. Antony still has three years left on his contract, although he has clearly shown his willingness to meet with Ten Hag to join his new project at Old Trafford. The Dutch side have just completed the sale of Sebastien Haller to Borussia Dortmund and are not obliged to sell, so they will do everything they can to block the transfer, unless their fee is met.

Ajax is not used to being a team willing to deny any transfer to its big stars in order to keep them, quite the opposite. It remains to be seen if United can reach the Dutch side's asking price of €80 million.

United presents an opportunity to grow for Antony

At 22 years of age, the challenge of the Red Devils and the Premier League would be the ideal scenario for Antony to display all his talent and see how far he can go as a player at the highest level. The Brazilian wants a spot in his National Team for the World Cup in Qatar later in the year and the Premier League can give him the opportunity to shine.
