Bayer’s head coach Eric Ten Gaga spoke about the possible signing of Brazilian Wnger Antoni, with whom he worked in Ajax and Manchester United. The Dutch specialist is highly appreciated by a 25-year-old football player, but he does not see him as part of his team.

“Antony is like a son. He has incredible qualities. I signed him twice and he remains special for me,” Ten Hag said in an interview Voetbal International.

At the same time, the coach emphasized that Bayer does not plan to transfer the player: “At the moment he is not interested in us, but let’s see what will happen in the future.” This statement leaves the door open to the potential transition of Antoni to the German club in the future.

Earlier it was reported that United revised Antoni’s transfer value.
