Brazilian club Sao Paulo are set to profit after Manchester United edge closer to completing the signing of Antony from Ajax this week.

According to reports, Manchester United's improved bid has been accepted by Ajax to complete the transfer move for the Right-winger Antony.

The Eredivisie side had rejected a 90 million euros offer yesterday as they claimed the price tag for Antony was 100 million euros.

The Brazilian International called in advance that he wanted to move to the Premier League for bigger challenges and that now it is not an excuse for Ajax to say they do not have time to replace him.

The 22-year-old Brazilian forward will be reunited with former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.

Since arriving from São Paulo in 2020, Antony has recorded 18 goals and 14 assists in 57 league appearances for Ajax while also helping the club to two Eredivisie titles. On Friday, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano said Antony told him that the forward has been asking to leave the club since February. The reported fee easily breaks the record set by former Ajax stars Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt (€75 million) in their respective moves to Barcelona and Juventus in 2019.

The date of AFC Ajax winger Antony's Manchester United medical has been revealed, according to a report.

It remains to be seen whether or not the club will make any more signings before the window shuts on September 1st. United play Leicester away on Thursday and it is still unclear whether or not he will be registered in time to play against The Foxes, with a work permit still to be issued. It seems like Ajax were not very enthusiastic about letting another of their best players go, considering how long negotiations took, but with the player going on "Strike" and not turning up to training or playing in matches, as well as his comments made to the media about wanting to leave, a deal has been done.

Ajax forward Antony is expected to undergo a medical later on Monday ahead of a €100million (£84m, $99m) move to Manchester United.

[Lisandro Martinez](https://theathletic.com/football/player/lisandro-martinez-lZNyZmtnsD6xHZZP/) from his former employers but wanted Antony to add competition in attack. People need to listen to me and understand that my motivation moves me towards happiness. “During the window months, meetings continued and I also received a proposal from Ajax for contract renewal.

Manchester United are close to sealing the £84m signing of Ajax and Brazil forward Antony following a protracted transfer saga, according to reports.

Having previously pledged that Antony would stay, the Ajax coach was asked if he had changed his mind. this our world, it's very sad and I don't approve that these things are happening to us." He said: "Nowadays, everything is about money and I think this is sad. He was subsequently omitted from Ajax's squad for their match against Utrecht. I've been insisting on this theme since February so that the club could rebuild the team with peace of mind". The deal will also make this United's biggest ever transfer window, eclipsing the €234m spent in 2019.

The Ajax winger is set to join United for £84.2million and there will inevitably be much focus on how he performs for Erik ten Hag's side.

Martinez is a bit more experienced and you look at Antony and you go, he's got great potential, let's see what he can do.' 'You look at Grealish last year, he wasn't the same Grealish that played at Aston Villa, so it can weigh heavy. Antony, he's coming in at £100million or roughly around that figure, [you hope] that he comes in and that doesn't weigh heavy on his neck. He said: 'It can be the price tag weighing heavy and the pressure and the attention of being under the spotlight, a new environment and club and culture that they're not used to, and a team setup that they're not used to. These new signings, Martinez coming in, he looks like he's not got a bit of pressure on him, it's like he hasn't seen the price tag the way he's moving at Man United. Ferdinand outlined that moving for such a significant fee generates a lot of pressure, while it can also take time to adapt to a new environment and culture.

ANTONY is widely expected to officially become a Manchester United player within the next 24 hours.

The switch will see United's spending total in the summer window rise above £220m, which is set to mark a record outlay for the Red Devils. We're more likely to see Antony performing for Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday against Arsenal." Antony was spotted arriving at Carrington on Monday evening to thrash out the formalities of the switch, with Ajax set to receive a fee of around £85million in exchange for their prized asset.
