British media: Juventus wanted to trade Douglas Louis for Anthony, but it was put on hold because of Jontoli s resignation

June 15 GiveMeSport reported that Juventus had considered exchanging Douglas Louis and Manchester United for Anthony.

Manchester United winger Anthony's future will be one of the key topics to be discussed in the next few weeks, and Real Betis continues to pay attention to the Brazilian player's dynamics, hoping to retain Anthony for at least another season. Manchester United has decided to give up on him and is actively seeking the best solution from a financial standpoint.

Juventus had substantially started negotiations about Anthony a few weeks ago. At that time, the football director Jon Toli considered using a player exchange plan to allow Anthony to join Juventus, while a Juventus player transferred to Manchester United. The former director believes Anthony's outstanding loan performance at Betis proves that he is a wise choice to strengthen the roster.

According to sources, Juventus proposed a specific plan at that time was that Douglas Luis would join Manchester United and Anthony would transfer to Serie A. Douglas Louis was actually on Manchester United's signing list in January, but failed to make it. Juventus has a high opinion of Anthony and has even considered flexible solutions such as two-way loans that include buyout terms.

The reason for the final stranding of this deal was a change in Juventus' management. As the club decided to reorganize the management, Jontoli resigned and the new director Comoli took over the operation. At present, negotiations about Anthony and Douglas Louis have completely stagnated, but there may still be a turnaround in the later stage of the transfer window. Juventus has indeed seriously considered introducing Anthony, and the decision has now been handed over to the new management.
