Leverkusen Locks the Door on Antony…
In a plot twist shocker fit for a soap opera, Erik ten Hag, now the big cheese at Bayer Leverkusen, has given Antony the ol’ no thanks, no way, no how! It’s like turning down a free trip to a chocolate factory because you’re on a celery diet. Unfathomable! Antony, the Brazilian samba king on the wing, has been handed a VIP ticket out of Manchester United but won’t be strutting his stuff at Leverkusen any time soon.
Antony was lost in the labyrinth of Ruben Amorim’s plans at Old Trafford and opted for sunshine and siestas in Seville last season. While in Spain, he boogied past defenders with the grace of a salsa dancer, banging in nine goals and dishing out five assists. Now eyeing an Old Trafford exit faster than a cheetah on roller skates, he’s even willing to take a hefty pay cut — talk about dedication!
Ten Hag, who once nurtured Antony’s talent like a gardener with a prized bonsai, is playing hard-to-get. “He was like a son to me,” he croons, but it seems like Antony’s adoption papers were lost in the mail. The winger, yearning for a fresh start, is now the belle of the ball with multiple suitors, but not everyone is giving him a rose. Leverkusen’s door is locked for now, but like any good soap opera, stay tuned for more twists!
