And after the agreement for Anthony, they decided to refuse because Manchester United paid € 100 million. They said: “For us Mudrik cannot be sold for € 30 or € 35 million, not even for € 40 million. much more”. That’s why, in the end, they decided to keep the player, because they are convinced that they will sell him for crazy money, “Romano said.
