The Dutch side have made it clear they are under no pressure to let him go after raising around €130m already this summer, but have communicated to United they will consider offers of around €100m for the Brazilian winger because of his desire to move to Old Trafford.
Sources have told ESPN that signing a forward is Erik ten Hag’s priority before next week’s deadline and that if a fee for Antony cannot be agreed, they will step up interest in Cody Gakpo, Christian Pulisic and Marcus Thuram.
PSV Eindhoven asked that any talks over Gakpo were delayed until after their Champions League qualifier with Rangers on Wednesday while there has been no encouragement from Chelsea that they would be willing to let Pulisic join a Premier League rival.
