According to a recent report from Defensa Central, Real Madrid has been given the opportunity to sign Manchester United winger Antony in 2024. It is said, meanwhile, that Los Blancos have turned down the chance to welcome the former wide winger from Ajax to Santiago Bernabeu Stadium the following season.

The Unimpressive Campaign of Antony Since he hasn’t been able to help Man United in front of the goal, Anthony has found it difficult to establish his value at Old Trafford in English football this season. This season, the Brazilian superstar has played in 20 games for the Red Devils, yet he has not only failed to assist on a goal but also failed to score one himself.

In the Premier League, the 23-year-old should get some credit for averaging 1.6 shots, 1.1 crucial passes, and 0.9 dribbles per ninety minutes. After finishing 78.4% of his passes in the English Premier League, he has even distributed the ball fairly well (data via whoscored).

The summer of 2027 will mark the expiration of his present deal with the Manchester club. But given his poor performance, Man United might be able to pay more for Antony when the transfer market reopens at the beginning of the following year.

Does Antony Make Sense at Real Madrid?

In order to get some shots in at goal, Antony can create some space for himself. He possesses outstanding ball handling skills and the vision to set up a few solid scoring opportunities for his teammates in the last third of the game.

Although his primary position is wide right, Antony can also fill in as a left winger when instructed to do so by his manager. He has the potential to be a top-tier talent in the future at the age of 23. Unquestionably, though, the Brazilian superstar has found it difficult to contribute significantly offensively to the Red Devils this season.

Thus, Antony won’t be a perfect fit for Real Madrid’s requirements right now. His skill level is insufficient for Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti to consistently start him in the starting lineup.

All things considered, the giants of Real Madrid would be better served by selecting a more experienced winger than staging a move for Antony, who would represent a hazardous alternative for them to pursue the following season.
