I shared official sources.
Edit: I think TransferMarkt figures are the full amount converted from Euro to GBP based on 2019 exchange rates which was €1 =£0.87, Euro has decreased in 2022, it's €1 =£0.84

Looking at their posture I don't think money is their prime concern at this point of the season.They ain’t giving them away for free.
If we really wanted this guy, we could have brought this up during the negotiations when buying Martinez. I'm not exactly depressed that Ajax have seem to reject the offer in just five minutes. United get to keep this 100M and still spend on other players while Ajax themselves have a thoroughly unhappy player on their hands which can't be good for club morale
Already reports out he won't play
He already did and that has been a few days ago.
It’s more keeping a player who doesn’t want to play for them.
Move on.
Time to close the gap.

No it isn’t. Levy selling Bale in this market (particularly to us) is close to Neymar money and the only way you’d get Robben for that is if it was during his crocked periods where nobody was sure how he’d pan out in terms of fitness.
That wasn’t the counter. The argument that there was no sell on value, and there was no sell on value for those players. They were bought to do a job without the thought of selling on later.
Fair fecks to the player, he couldn't be doing much more to make this move happen.
Theyre mad
Ajax are fecking jokers.
At the start of summer if you'd have said we'd bid 90m euros for Antony, people would say we're crazy and they'd be laughing all the way to the bank.
Now they're just being stubborn trying to fleece us out of every penny. It's a shame that this is ruining a good feeling between the club.

We should move on, but we're very short upfront.
We can't blame Ajax for wanting to keep their player, but that's a lot of money. Surely they'd be better off taking the money instead of keeping an unhappy player who might lose some value.

Need to move on now..
Do transfer requests not work anymore? He put one in the other day officially, didn't he?
So you’re telling me Ajax don’t have a target in mind to fill the gap should Antony leave this week? That’s very United of the club.
The reality is you aren’t going to get a world class player who ticks all the boxes to come in now, but you can get someone who can do a job and is available, on loan if necessary. Sometimes you need a stop gap until the found the right replacement.
Yeah, and he won’t train or play
They don't mean that much, unfortunately. Don't think they're often mentioned outside of England
We need more pressure on Ajax. Take a page from the Spanish clubs. Have our players publicly talk up Antony.
Absolutely spot on. I'm actually getting Di Maria vibes by the fact he hasn't done that already.
We've offered more for Antony than we paid for Sancho now despite him being far less proven. Ajax are taking the piss now.
feck 'em. I hope Antony plays awfully on purpose with a guarantee from the NT to be selected.
But at the value of them, it’s par for the course, you don’t see a club like Ajax going over the odds for aged players. It isn’t their model.
The Ajax supporters can speak better on this than me. Would be great if they weighed in.
Rejected already
Fellas…who’s gonna tell him?
Being respectful just ain't cutting it. He needs to do a Dean Henderson.
If it's the right player and they have the money a club will always make the purchase, they're not going to turn down a player who would elevate them over a few million that they absolutely have.
I'm not saying Ziyech is that player but they would do it if they thought it was the right thing to do.
I’m sure Ajax will have scouted ‘the next Antony’ currently playing for Corinthians or similar- amazing that they’ve rejected such a massive bid
Poor guy
Already said this, but now more than ever he needs to go on media and speak against Ajax. This is the only way for him to force the transfer.
Why does any of that make Ajax jokers? The good feeling means nothing… we need them…they are not relying on us for players to help them compete. They are a well run club…unlike us…who have to overpay and the tail end of transfer windows to buy players who have been open to moving for months and months. How any Utd fans could question Ajax here is bizarre. We are the amateurs.
Shame but United should really take Ajax at their word now and walk away. The bid was a very good one, but Ajax are in their right to reject it...but increasing the bid to even more stupid levels wont help anyone.
Antony would never be able to live up to the price tag and would get abused by the media and fans every week.
It would also affect every other transfer fee going forward.

I feel bad for Antony as he clearly really wants to join. Ajax are being so stubborn and bitter. That bid is MORE than fair.
Go sign Ziyech and Kluivert for that money and have plenty to spare. Clearly smoking too much weed on a friday over in Amsterdam.
