Liverpool are reportedly set to battle a number of Premier League clubs and La Liga giants Barcelona for the signature of Ajax forward Antony.

Liverpool are reportedly set to battle a number of Premier League clubs and La Liga giants Barcelona for the signature of Ajax forward Antony.

The 22-year-old has been a standout performer for the Dutch outfit this season, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.

Antony's impressive performances are believed to have caught the eye of several top European clubs ahead of this summer's window, and the Daily Mirror reports that both Liverpool and Barca are among those keeping tabs.

The report adds that Jurgen Klopp's side have identified Antony as a potential long-term replacement for star man Mohamed Salah, who has less than 18 months on his contract at Anfield.

Despite their ongoing financial problems, Barcelona see themselves as the frontrunners for Antony's signature, with head coach Xavi keen to bolster his attacking options further after the arrivals of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ferran Torres and Adama Traore in January.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have also been credited with an interest in the forward, who is valued at around €60m (£50.7m).

Antony, who is currently away on international duty with Brazil, is under contract at the Amsterdam ArenA until June 2025.
