People need to listen to me and understand that my motivation moves me towards happiness.”It was confirmed by Ajax on August 30, 2022, that they had reached an agreement with Manchester United for Antony’s transfer and the player subsequently signed a five-year contract for a transfer fee of €95 million (£82 million), with a further €5 million (£4.27 million) in add-ons. After Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku, it became the third-highest transfer fee ever paid by Manchester United and the transfer became Ajax‘s and the Eredivisie‘s biggest transfer ever.After his ex-girlfriend made allegations of domestic violence, Antony was removed from Brazil’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Bolivia and Peru on September 4, 2023. It was also reported by Brazilian media outlet Universo Online that there have been photos showing the ex-girlfriend having injuries to her head and her hand.Following the domestic violence allegations, two other women also accused Antony of assault but he firmly denied the allegations on the Brazilian network SBT on September 9, claiming that he would “provide the proof and people will understand”.Featured Image by Antony Matheus dos Santos / Instagram
