Manchester United is reportedly contemplating the sale of Antony, their record £85 million signing from Ajax, during the upcoming summer transfer window.
However, the ongoing police investigation into allegations of physical assault by Gabriela Cavallin, the player’s former partner, could pose a challenge for any potential acquiring club.
The investigation, conducted by both Greater Manchester Police and Sao Paulo Civil Police, might complicate the transfer process unless the case is dropped or Antony is cleared of the allegations.

Despite denying the accusations and being allowed to return to the club, Antony was placed on indefinite leave when the reports initially surfaced.
Furthermore, Antony’s on-field performance this season has been underwhelming, with no goals or assists in 22 appearances.
While the club remains optimistic about his eventual exoneration, they are considering parting ways with him, according to reports from The Telegraph.
