It is frightening to consider who will finally be chosen to replace Mo Salah, especially if it is Antony, given his incredible form right now.
The Brazilian talked about almost joining the team in the summer of 2022 in an interview with Estadio Deportivo:
Although it’s true that I came extremely close to joining Liverpool, no one can predict what may have transpired.
“I ultimately went to Manchester United; I had some amazing experiences there, and it was a wise one as well.
Salah has been performing spectacular feats for a long time and is an amazing player. He is a superb football player.
“He is definitely among the best and is a serious contender for the Ballon d’Or, but I’m not sure if he is the best in the world right now.”
It’s easy to assume that the club made the right choice in not signing the former Ajax player during that window and instead extending the contract of a club legend.
Antony failed to impress throughout his stint in Manchester United.
Arne Slot, who is currently on loan at Real Betis, saw firsthand the winger’s petulance against Feyenoord while he was in the Eredivisie.
In the same way that he once laughed in the attacker’s face, the 46-year-old would probably chuckle at these quotes.
Although we’ve heard that the failed Manchester United player almost took the place of our Egyptian King before, this confirms the allegation.
We can all just be grateful that our number eleven was able to stay at Anfield, and we can only hope that Richard Hughes will take this opportunity to think things through and sign a new deal.
