According to reports in Portugal (press image provided below), Antony is on the verge of leaving Ajax for Manchester United in a £67.5 million deal.
According to today's edition of O Jogo, the Dutch champions are already preparing for Antony's impending departure by targeting the signing of Porto starlet Francisco Conceicao.
According to reports in the Netherlands, the Brazilian international is on the verge of joining Manchester United for an exorbitant fee.
Ajax, on the other hand, wants to use the 5 million euro release clause to sign Francisco, manager Sergio Conceicao's son, to bolster their offense.
According to Corrieo da Manha, the Eredivise giants see the 19-year-old as the ideal player to replace Antony, who is expected to leave Old Trafford for around 80 million euros (£67.5 million).
Under Erik ten Hag's management, the 22-year-old Samba winger contributed 22 goals (all competitions) in the previous season.
Francisco appeared in 25 games for Porto, scoring twice and assisting twice, but only started once in the league. The Dragons want to extend his contract and include a 50 million euro buyout clause.
For the time being, it is unknown whether the teen sensation is willing to leave his father's side and join Ajax.
Ten Hag has recently stated that Cristiano Ronaldo is not for sale, but the transfer saga is far from over. The legendary forward is the Champions League's all-time leading scorer and wants to compete again next season.
Even if he does stay, I believe Man United should press for Antony, whose signing should not be contingent on Ronaldo's future.
CR7 is primarily used as a CF, but the South American attacker is a natural winger. If Ronaldo leaves, Ten Hag should replace him with a true center forward. What are your thoughts?

Raphinha will become Barça's third signing in the coming hours. Barça and Leeds have agreed in principle on a fee of 55 million euros, plus an additional 10 million euros in variables, and the Brazilian player's arrival is imminent.
Raphinha will be able to sign a contract for the next five seasons with the Barcelona discipline, which has already granted him permission to join Leeds, as soon as the next few hours. United and Barcelona had been close to an agreement since Friday, but the last few hours have been dominated by variables and the potential delay in paying the transfer fee if Barça uses their second lever in the coming days.
Leeds has agreed on contract terms, and the contract has been finalized. Raphinha will be the most expensive signing of the summer.
