In contrast, Liverpool, who recently signed Darwin Nunez to an £85 million contract from Portuguese superpowers Benfica this summer, are currently looking to bolster their lineup in the wake of Sadio Mane’s departure to Bayern Munich.
Given his outstanding performances under Ten Hag over the past two games, it is known that Ajax is mentioning a £69 million price tag for the Brazilian forward, and the Red Devils are hesitant to match the Dutch club’s estimation.
The Merseyside Reds have discussed a reasonable summer strategy with both Ajax and Antony’s representative.
According to the report, Liverpool’s benefit “major strong regions for is” a presented of £59m could be enough to compete with Dutch superpower Ajax.
The 20-time English champions have recently dismissed rumors that they made Antony a £51 million bid as “crap.”
