Agent opens up and states Liverpool interest in signing £86 million attacker
The agent of Manchester Unite flop Anthony has revealed that LIVERPOOL were very interested in getting the Brazilian signed up before he made the move to Old Trafford just a few seasons ago.
During his time at Ajax – Antony established himself as one of the most creative players in Europe and a man that Liverpool believed could have replaced Mohamed Salah, if he decided to leave the club back in 2022.
However – The winger has failed to put together any sort of consistency since his move to the Theatre of Dreams in the summer of 2022 and has looked nothing like the player that dominated at Ajax.
Salah, meanwhile, has further cemented his status as an all-time Liverpool great but uncertainty is growing over the Egyptian’s future once again, with his current deal due to expire at the end of the season.
Now the agent of the Brazilian star has opened up and revealed that Antony was a target for Liverpool: ‘Yes, this story has some basis in truth,’ Antony’s representative Junior Pedroso told winwin when asked about The Times’ report about his client.
Pressed on whether Antony ultimately preferred United over Liverpool, Pedroso replied: ‘No, Salah renewed his contract with Liverpool at the time and that made Anthony’s move to LIVERPOOL impossible.’

Antony has been awful since his move to Old Trafford and has not looked good enough to play in that Man Unted side – so letting him depart the club in the coming windows will be a good decision to make.
If he wants to stay and fight for his place at the club – great – but he needs to step up his level a couple of times before he is good enough for Manchester United.
LIVERPOOL really dodged a bullet by not signing the star that is for sure.
