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.
