Man Utd "lures" Juventus with a swap deal for Antony
Antony's future is becoming a big question mark, and Man Utd are said to be looking to take advantage of interest from other clubs to solve their attacking problems.
Juventus have emerged as a potential suitor, and an ambitious swap deal could be key to Man Utd landing promising young striker Kenan Yildiz.
Antony joined Man United in August 2022 for a "huge" fee of 80 million pounds, but the Brazilian winger failed to meet expectations at Old Trafford. After a long period of "disappearance", Antony was pushed to Real Betis on loan in January.
However, the new environment seems to have helped Antony revive. He exploded in Real Betis, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists in just 4 appearances. This change has attracted the attention of many big clubs, including Juventus.
According to Spanish newspaper Fichajes, Juventus are interested in Antony and see him as a quality addition to the attack. This is an opportunity for Man Utd to make a "win-win" deal, both freeing Antony from the burden and getting a quality striker.
Both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have failed to impress at Old Trafford, and United are looking for quality reinforcements in attack. Juventus' promising young striker Kenan Yildiz has been linked with a move to the Red Devils.
Yildiz can play as a central striker or on the left wing. La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that Juventus could consider selling Yildiz to solve their financial difficulties. This is an ideal opportunity for Man Utd to take advantage of Juventus' interest in Antony to "lure" Yildiz to Old Trafford.
A swap deal for Antony for Yildiz would certainly be one of the blockbusters of the summer transfer window. Can Man Utd convince Juventus to let him go, or will the "youngster" Antony have to find a new destination? All is still ahead.
