Leverkusen will sign Anthony, and the agency clears Tenghach: Manchester United has to buy 100 million yuan

Football

In this winter window, Manchester United loaned Anthony to Betis in La Liga. In just half a season, he scored 9 goals and gave 6 assists for Betis in 26 games, and scored key goals many times, becoming one of the team's best performers and helping Betis obtain European qualifications for next season. In the latest La Liga player value update, Anthony's value also rose for the first time in two years, from 20 million euros to 35 million euros, an increase exceeding expectations.

Anthony's future is more eye-catching than its value increase. His contract with Betis will expire this summer. Manchester United hopes that the other party can buy it out, but the price of more than £40 million is unbearable for Betis. They can only accept loans or renting first and then buying. Manchester United insists on transferring directly, and the gap between the two sides reached a consensus is relatively large. According to German media, Tenhach, who coaches Leverkusen, is expected to sign his beloved disciple again and has already contacted Manchester United.

Tenhach once worked with Anthony during his time at Ajax, and spent hundreds of millions of euros to bring him to the Premier League in his first season at Manchester United. However, Anthony's performance after joining the Premier League was far from expectations, and he was extremely unacceptable to Premier League games. He played 95 games for Manchester United but had only 12 goals and 5 assists. He eventually became a substitute and was loaned to La Liga. Now that Teng Hach is in charge of Leverkusen and signs Anthony again, it will be the third time that the two sides will cooperate.

After the news came out, a report from the Sun said that Tenghach had tried hard to stop Manchester United from signing Anthony's deal, but the club pushed the transfer at all costs. Keith Worth, co-founder of Tenghach's agency SEG, said: "Tenghach and I both opposed this transfer at the time, and Manchester United pushed the deal at all costs. In the end, Manchester United paid nearly 100 million euros. Although Tenghach did not support it, this failed signing became a lingering label during his time in Manchester. He never fulfilled his promise of value."

It is reported that Manchester United signed Anthony to prevent Arsenal from completing this deal, but this deal eventually became another typical case of Manchester United's failure in transfer. Anthony's career at Manchester United is difficult to continue, and both sides hope to be separated. Manchester United's price tag for Anthony is actually not very high. Considering the player's age and performance in La Liga, the price is likely to be accepted, but Anthony's weekly salary of up to £200,000 is a lot of pressure for any club that wants to sign him.
