Antony transfer clause comes to light as second club payment forces huge Man Utd fee

Manchester United are poised to agree an £84million deal to land Ajax attacking star Antony with 20 percent of the deal set to go to the Brazilian’s former club Sao Paulo.

The 22-year-old has been top of Erik ten Hag' s shopping list all summer, with the two keen to reunite at Old Trafford. The Brazilian has been pushing for the move and desperately wants to leave Amsterdam after two impressive campaigns. Mirror Football exclusively reported that the Brazil international is now on strike at his current club.

United are now set to pay out a premium fee to land the talented forward but the agreement is partly at such a high threshold as Ajax will not be entitled to the full transaction due to a transfer clause they agreed with Sao Paulo when signing the player in 2020.
