Manchester United was willing to pay £58.9 million. 

This kind of fee would have been one for which Ajax would have snapped United's hand off at the beginning of the transfer window. 

Instead, it is now insufficient for Ajax to split ways with the winger, who is thought to be a crucial component of their team for the upcoming season.

 

90-minute report For Antony, Ajax wants £67.3 million (80 million). This is an unreasonable price that United should not be expected to pay. 

The good news from this update is that Manchester United is willing to support manager Erik ten Hag in his pursuit of a player who he views as a vital objective. 

 

The difference in valuation between the two clubs is only £8 million, and it seems like this may be closed over the course of the next month through add-ons, clauses, etc.

Despite concerns that Antony wouldn't be able to play again until August, he returned last night and is expected to play this weekend in the Community Shield-style Johan Cruyff Shield matchup against PSV. 

 

Francisco Conceicao, a winger, was just acquired by Ajax. Conceicao is regarded as Antony's successor, technical manager Gerry Hamstra told Het Parool.
