Manchester United are on the verge of signing Antony from Ajax in a mega £84million transfer deal - but it may not help Cristiano Ronaldo to end his second spell at the club.
37-year-old Ronaldo is still desperate to leave the Red Devils but despite United manager Erik ten Hag signing another forward, the Portuguese superstar remains firmly tethered to Old Trafford. That's because potential suitors Napoli have now ruled out a move in the wake of Antony's agreement.
Ronaldo's transfer to the Serie A side, who were interested in the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has bizarrely been proposed as a swap deal which would see Napoli striker Victor Osimhen head to Manchester. La Gazzetta dello Sport explain that United would've only made an offer for the 23-year-old Nigerian had they failed to secure Antony's signature.
