Antony is one of the characters that received a lot of attention in the summer transfer market, after playing very well with Real Betis but was still eliminated by MU.
During the US tour, coach Ruben Amorim blatantly dismissed Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho, forcing them to practice separately while waiting for clearance.
Atletico have shown interest in Antony for a long time. The Madrid capital club believes this is the most appropriate time to conduct transfer negotiations.
MU already has Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. The Red Devils need to quickly sell players who are not in their plans to continue recruiting new players.
Coach Simeone has heaped praise on Antony after watching him explode with Betis, although there are still some opinions from the sporting department that this is a risky deal for Atletico.
The red and white team needs to add depth to their attack after parting ways with Angel Correa, as well as waiting for an offer for Thomas Lemar. In addition, Antoine Griezmann is getting older and will have to be on the bench more next season.
Antony will bring many solutions to Atletico , in the context that Simeone wants to focus on winning on both important fronts La Liga and Champions League.
For his part, Antony wants to play in the Champions League, in order to compete for a place in the Brazilian squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Sources from Spain said that Antony is willing to significantly reduce his current salary to leave MU. His priority is still to play more, before thinking about income.
MU requested a transfer fee of no less than 50 million euros, but Atletico offered 30 million euros, with some options to pay later.
Atletico are relying on Barca's deal to sign Marcus Rashford - a loan deal with a one-year buyout clause of around 35 million euros - to put pressure on MU in negotiations.
