Fabrizio Romano admits that “talks have not progressed” on a deal with Antony

An exit from Man United does not look any closer for Antony as Olympiacos are not considering a move for the Brazilian star in January.

Antony has not been in Ruben Amorim’s plans since the Portuguese coach arrived at Old Trafford in November from Sporting CP, having made just four Premier League appearances from the bench.

The former Ajax star was again an unused substitute in Man United’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool this weekend, and with the Manchester club having to let go of some stars before new signings arrive, the 24-year-old is one of the names on their transfer list. .

However, Olympiacos was one of the clubs linked with Antony, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on this transmission.

A transfer expert has stated that the Greek giants do not consider Antony as a concrete/likely option at this stage of the transfer window, despite an initial approach just a few days ago. “Talks have not progressed either on the player’s side or on the club’s side,” which makes the transfer unlikely.

Newcastle have been offered the chance to sign Antony this month, while Real Betis showed interest in the Brazilian star; however, it remains to be seen if any other clubs will inquire about the winger.

Antony did not work at Man United

Antony arrived at Man United from Ajax in the summer of 2022 as part of a A deal worth £86mand the Brazilian star follows Erik ten Hag to Old Trafford.

After dazzling with the Eredivisie giants, the Dutch coach failed to reproduce that magic in Manchester and signing the 24-year-old can be seen as a failure as he managed just 12 goals and five assists in 94 appearances for the Premier League side. .

Man United will find it difficult to offload Antony during the current window, and perhaps even in the summer, with the Red Devils set to take a huge financial hit when the winger is eventually sold.
