Erik ten Hag Eyes Antony for Bayer Leverkusen: Latest Transfer News and Rumors
Stay updated with the latest football transfer news as Erik ten Hag considers bringing Antony to Bayer Leverkusen. Explore other major moves and rumors in the world of football.

Erik ten Hag's Potential Move for Antony
New Bayer Leverkusen coach Erik ten Hag is reportedly ready to make a move for Manchester United forward Antony. This would mark the third time ten Hag has signed the Brazilian winger, having previously brought him to Ajax and then to Manchester United. Antony, who had an explosive loan spell with Real Betis last season, scoring nine goals in 24 starts, is now considered surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.
Arsenal's Interest in Morgan Rogers
Arsenal are looking to bolster their squad by targeting Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers and Feyenoord's Igor Paixão. Rogers, 22, had a standout season at Villa, contributing eight goals and 11 assists in the Premier League. However, with a contract until 2030, securing his services would be costly. Paixão, on the other hand, would be a more affordable option for the Gunners.
Bayern Munich's Transfer Targets
Bayern Munich have set their sights on Liverpool's Cody Gakpo and AC Milan's Rafael Leão. Both players would command a transfer fee of at least €70m, necessitating the sale of current players to fund these moves. Joao Palhinha is one player who might be on his way out to make room for new signings.
Manchester United's Bid for Bryan Mbeumo
Manchester United have made an initial offer of £45m plus £10m in add-ons for Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo. However, this falls short of Brentford's valuation. The Cameroon international is keen on a move to Old Trafford, but United will need to improve their proposal to secure the deal.
Liverpool's Pursuit of Milos Kerkez
Liverpool are pushing to sign AFC Bournemouth wing-back Milos Kerkez. The Cherries are holding out for a £45m transfer fee, which has stalled negotiations. Arne Slot sees Kerkez as an upgrade on Andrew Robertson, but reaching an agreement with Bournemouth remains challenging.
