After Ajax rejects Manchester United’s big offer, Antony lashes out at them

 

 

After Ajax turned down yet another offer from Manchester United, Antony ripped at them in a sensational interview.

 

The manager of United, Erik ten Hag, worked with Antony while he was at Ajax and is eager to bring him to the Premier League.

Sky Sports claims that United made a recent bid of €90 million for the Brazilian player, which would be a record sale for a Dutch team.

 

However, Ajax has turned down a deal because they do not want Antony to leave.

 

In a frank chat with journalist Fabrizio Romano, Anthony has now raged about his situation.

 

He said: “Since February of this year, my agents came to Amsterdam to inform Ajax of my desire to leave the club to face new challenge and that some interested clubs would arrive and with them, certainly a great offer.

“In June of this year, I interrupted my vacation and came personally to inform the managers of Ajax, including new coach, about my wish to leave and that they should consider this possibility, because it was a project for two seasons.

“During the window months, meetings continued and I also received a proposal from Ajax for contract renewal. I made it clear once again: I WANT TO LEAVE.

“Today, in a meeting with the club, I expressed my old interest in leaving, only this time with a considerable offer on the table. Others had already arrived! Ajax refused with argument that they only have five days to replace me.

“I’m not asking Ajax to release me, I’m asking Ajax to sell me with the highest bid ever for Eredivisie player. I’ve been insisting on this theme since February so that the club could rebuild the team with peace of mind.

 

“I was very happy in Amsterdam, I won titles at Ajax, made friends and built part of my career, but now I REINFORCE that I am ready and full of motivation to follow my story and my dreams.

“People need to listen to me and understand that my motivation moves me towards happiness. I need this to continue performing at a high level. Ajax will always be in my heart!

“I hope Ajax fans understand me… because the future for a football player is a totally uncertain thing and the opportunities can be unique! My message to them is one of gratitude for Ajax, club and fans!”
