The Reds will need to compete with Manchester United if they want his signature.



However, it is believed that Antony’s preferred destination is Liverpool or Manchester United given the stature of the two clubs.

Manchester United will be extremely confident given their acquisition of Erik Ten Hag as manager, Antony's former coach at Ajax, and will be hoping that his relationship with the forward can influence negotiations in their favour.

If Liverpool decide this is the case it is unlikely that they will be put off by the asking price, having spent similar fees for the signings of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz in recent windows.
