Manchester United and Atletico Madrid are reportedly in talks for a blockbuster swap deal involving key players, as both clubs aim to address squad needs while navigating financial constraints.
According to recent reports, Manchester United are considering offering winger Antony, currently on loan at Real Betis, in exchange for Atletico’s star goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
The Red Devils see Oblak, a long-term target, as a potential replacement for their underperforming goalkeeper André Onana, with Atletico reportedly open to a €20m bid plus Antony to secure the deal.
This move would allow United to bolster their goalkeeping options while offloading Antony, whose £86m transfer from Ajax in 2022 has not met expectations. Meanwhile, Atletico’s interest in Antony aligns with their need for attacking reinforcements, especially as they face potential departures, with Julián Álvarez rumored to be unsettled.
The swap deal could benefit both sides, with United addressing a critical position and Atletico gaining a versatile winger to complement their squad. Negotiations are ongoing, with further developments expected as the summer transfer window approaches.
