Antony Transfer News: Manchester United Prepare for Star Signing's Medicals After €100m Move

Manchester United have finally got their man as they reached an agreement for Antony with Ajax. The Brazilian winger was one of the top priorities for the Premier League side and after long and intense negotiations have managed to get the deal over the line and are now preparing for the star's medicals. Antony Transfer News: Manchester United Set To Complete €100m Move For Ajax Star.

Ajax were adamant about their validation of Antony and were unwilling to sell him below that, rejecting multiple bids from Manchester United in the process. The Dutch side eventually agreed on a transfer fee for the 22-year-old as the Premier League side will pay €95 million plus €5 million add-ons for the Brazil international.

Manchester United are planning for Antony's arrival and are preparing for the 22-year-old's medical tests. The player will arrive in Manchester in the next few hours and the move will be made official once the Brazil international manages to clear the medical examinations and received his visa to play in the Premier League.

It is understood that all the contracts have been approved by the club and player's side. The 22-year-old winger has signed a five-year deal - until 2027- with the Premier League giants, who also have an option to extend it by one season.

Antony had been pushing for Manchester United's move ever since the club's interest in him was reported. The Brazil international was left out of Ajax's squads for matches against Sparta Rotterdam and Utrecht as the club were looking to sort out his future.
