Reasons Revealed: Antony Santos and Ajax Battle in Court
Ajax and Manchester United winger Antony are embroiled in an arbitration case, with the Brazilian seeking reimbursement for fines imposed by Ajax during his absence from the club in the summer of 2022.
The dispute stems from Antony’s decision to skip Ajax’s training sessions in an attempt to force a transfer to Manchester United.
As a result, Ajax fined him €50,000 for every day he failed to report to training.
Antony’s actions were seen as an act of rebellion, as he was determined to secure a move to Manchester United.
The Red Devils ultimately signed Antony, but the winger’s departure from Ajax was marked by controversy.
The arbitration case, which began last Monday, will determine whether Ajax must refund the fines imposed on Antony.
The outcome of the case remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the relationship between Ajax and Antony has been strained for some time.
