surely there's no way this actually happens? .. he was an absolute disaster for PSG, i can't post links yet, so here's a summary of his time at PSG, taken from Reddit.
• since signing with the Club on May 2017 (during which he faced legal problems in Portugal that slowed down his signing), his predecessor Kluivert commented: “he knows nothing about football, it’s business”
• just as he arrived, the first he tried was replacing Unai Emery with Jorge Jesus (ex-Sporting manager)
• back when we were looking for a Centerback, we were offered Pepe by Jorge Mendes, everything was going well, until contract duration was brought up. Mendes wanted 2 years, Antero rejected that and offered 1 option of 1 year extension (same as Buffon currently), both stood their grounds and Pepe signed for Besiktas a couple hours later
• Thiago Motta’s contract was ending and we were without a 6, Antero negotiated with Canovi (his agent) and they reached an agreement, suddenly the verbal agreements turned out to be very different to those on the written contract, which ended in Thiago Motta remaining a free agent for 4 days
• after being offended by Mendes sending Pepe to Besiktas, Antero put an end to the very advanced negotiations with James Rodriguez. he was loaned to Bayern with a €40M purchase option (we could’ve had the same deal and what a signing this could’ve been for our midfield, perfect Pastore replacement)
• even with the 2017 transfer window being a general success,we can see the failure in negotiations for Fabinho and the lack of a CDM replacement for Motta
• off to the Winter 2018, Antero harassed Lucas Moura in order to force him to leave the club, including using some very racist remarks such as “hey little n word, when will you leave the club?” He even arranged for Kia Joorabchian to ship him off to China, which Lucas firmly refused as he wanted to stay in Europe, he signed for Spurs
• after the poaching of some youth players (Like Zagadou), Antero and Luis Fernandez offered at least 24 professional contracts to our youth players, which a dozen players signed in May and August
• Emery contract as manager was ending, 4 managers were considered:
- Neymar and his agents’ pick: Luis Enrique
- The owners’ choice: Pochettino or Tuchel
- Antero’s Choice: Sergio Conceicao!
• behind the scenes, Rabiot’s extension was already a problem, one that Henrique didn’t take seriously, Rabiot demanded €7.2M and the guarantee of PSG signing a CDM, we’re still waiting for the latter
• From the end of May until the middle of August, Antero made multiple meetings with Kanté’s representatives while trying everything including threats to sign him. The little bugger stood firm as he wanted to stay with Chelsea, and during that wasted period we missed out on signing one of William Carvalho, Steven Nzonzi, Arturo Vidal or Radja Nainggolan.
• Antero worked with 2 certain agents (Moussa Sissoko and Laurent Schmitt) on multiple occasions, including Lassana Diarra’s signing, his wasted time with Kante and promising talent Arthur Zagre’s contract for example, while multiple unknown Portuguese bizarrely joined PSG’s board, Jaime Teixeira for example
• In search of a renowned Centerback at the request of Tuchel, PSG reached an agreement with Jérôme Boateng. who even rejected an offer from Manchester United at the deadline, waiting for the Bayern - PSG deal for his transfer. Antero Henrique ended up never making an offer to Bayern Munich.
• with a gaping hole in midfield, Antero called and promised a PSG signing for Lobotka, the player was enchanted with the idea of joining the capital club, he waited for a Celta Vigo - PSG agreement until the end of the transfer window. Antero ended up never making an offer to Celta Vigo
• despite months of negotiations, and after rejecting offers up to €60M for Guedes, he finally gave in at the end, he sold Guedes to Valencia for €40M paid over 6 years, a disaster of a deal
• despite a gaping hole in midfield, Lo Celso was loaned out at the very end of the transfer window:
- Obligatory €25M purchase if Betis reaches a European football spot, Optional purchase option if they don’t
• that transfer was entirely Henrique’s handiwork, who arranged his friend and agent on the deal so he can receive a commission
• the PSG summer window was a failure, no midfield signings, a late Bernat arrival and Rabiot not extending
• in October 2018, Luis Fernandez was close to getting booted by Antero for no reason, no motive whatsoever, without being told or warned in any way, right now he is being paid to do nothing
• although relations between Henrique and Rabiot with his representatives was already heated, he announced in November 2018 there will be no contract extension, an extension that should’ve been done and dandy way back in June 2017
• after being in contact with Eder Militao for ages, he refused to pay the €5M demanded by his club, so he signed for Porto in July 2018. Real Madrid is preparing to sign him for €50M next summer because he turned out to be a beast
• here comes the big one, while he was searching for a financial solution to pay the €75M demanded by Ajax, Barca came in and it was a done deal only in 48 hours. Another botched transfer by Antero
• the reason the talented youngster Nsoki’s contract signature was delayed is: Antero was pressuring him to change his agent in order to have a lucrative professional contract, he suggested his associates Moussa Sissoko and Laurent Schmitt
best avoided by the sounds of it
