Reported Spurs and Manchester United transfer target Antony put fans of both clubs on red alert this week after seemingly skipping Ajax’s first day of pre-season training.
The Brazilian sent the transfer rumour mill into a frenzy after he wasn’t spotted amongst the group of players taking part in new manager Alfred Schreuder’s first training session on Friday morning, with many speculating it was due to his potential departure this summer. But a day later he was back amongst it at the training ground, posting videos of himself working out at the club’s gym as he continues to prepare for the new season. In one of the videos, which showed him running on a treadmill, Antony included a message that read: “The season has officially begun!! Focus on the recovery!!”
Antony has a reported price tag of around £68million on his shoulders as the Eredivisie champions hope to keep hold of their star man who scored 12 goals and provided ten assists in 32 games last season during new United boss Erik ten Hag’s last season in charge at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
