Antony Could Have Joined Liverpool: Klopp Wanted Him Personally

In the summer of 2022, uncertainty surrounded Mohamed Salah's future at Anfield, prompting Liverpool's management to explore potential replacements for the Egyptian forward. At the time, then-manager Jürgen Klopp identified an unexpected candidate for the role.

Detalis: According to Daily Mail, Klopp was interested in signing Ajax winger Antony, viewing him as a possible successor to Salah. However, the Brazilian’s own future was also in flux, and he ultimately joined Manchester United, following his former coach Erik ten Hag.

Reminder: Antony’s transfer to Old Trafford has not been a success. Manchester United is reportedly considering parting ways with the Brazilian forward, who has managed just 17 goals in 87 matches since his move.
