Antony broke into the Ajax stage as a talented addict and many clubs were interested in his signature in the summer of 2022, including Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Barcelona, among others. However, Antony decided to follow Erik Ten Hag in Old Trafford, a transfer that did not work very well for any of the two parties.
After his constant difficulties in United, Antony knew his tilting point under Ruben Amorim a few months ago and left the Red Devils for a six -month loan in Betis, where he finally found his shape. However, the Brazilian now revealed that his career could have been very different since he revealed that he had almost joined Liverpool in 2022 in replacement of Salah.
Antony in Liverpool?
In an interview with Marca, Antony said that an agreement was underway, but that Salah had signed a contract extension, ending the Reds' interest in the former Sao Paulo player.
” It's true “, he said. “” I was very close to signing in Liverpool, but no one knows what would have happened. In the end, I went to Manchester United, I experienced great moments there and it was also a good choice. Salah is an incredible player and he has been doing extraordinary things for a long time. He is an exceptional footballer. I do not know if he is the best in the world at the moment, but he is certainly one of the best and he is in serious competition for the Ballon d'Or. »»
