According to Fichajes, Chelsea have approved the signing of Ajax winger Anthony in competition with Barca, Real Madrid and Manchester City.
The first right winger in the Eredivisie this season
Anthony has become the most popular winger star in the transfer market this year, and under Tenhag's leadership, the Brazilian has exploded this season. To date, the 22-year-old speed winger has scored 12 goals and created 10 assists in 33 games. The outstanding performance has attracted the attention of all European clubs.
According to TeamTalk, United have benefited from their ties to Tenhag and have become favourites to sign Anthony. The Dutch tactician hopes to take his proud disciples to Old Trafford with him after taking over the whip of Manchester United.
Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata are highly likely to leave this summer, Rashford's form is also very subdued and United will benefit from Anthony's deal. But the competition to sign the Brazilian is fierce, league rivals Chelsea have approved his pursuit, while Barcelona and Real Madrid also maintain a high degree of attention to the players, especially the former is very eager to get Anthony's play.
United locked up Tenhag and added Anthony
As things stand, Chelsea's attacking bench is very thick. But Pulisic's future at Stamford Bridge remains in doubt, and his performance has not fallen short of expectations. At the same time, Tuchel is also urging the club to sell Werner and Lukaku. That would open a huge gap for the club to bring in signings in the summer, and Anthony is exactly what the Blues are trying to target.
Barca, meanwhile, see Antony as a key player in replacing Dembele and Traore. The former's contract with the club is about to expire at the end of the season, but given his recent form and the easing of relations between the two sides, Barca may not need to bring in a new right winger if the Frenchman ends up staying. But Traore's departure still requires a rotation to increase the bench thickness on the right wing.
Real Madrid's interest in Anthony is not too strong, but they also need to replace the rotation players. Despite Mbappe's imminent arrival, Bale's contract is about to expire and Hazard's transfer window has been opened. This means that La Liga giants need to expand their talent pool in attack, and Anthony deserves to be considered by management.
In addition to this, Bayern are also very interested in signing Anthony. It remains to be seen which destination the Brazil international will go to at the summer transfer window.
