Journalist Jorge Nicola debunked the rumor of Lorran being involved in a swap deal with Antony. Manchester United was rumored to be interested in Lorran, valuing him at €12 million, but Antony's agent confirmed that there is no truth to the swap deal involving Lorran and Antony.

Ruben Amorim, the newly appointed manager of Manchester United, has targeted Lorran as his first acquisition for the team. The 18-year-old athlete from Flamengo is regarded as one of the most promising talents in Brazilian football. Amorim has directed the United management to secure Lorran's transfer to Old Trafford in January, with reports suggesting that Flamengo might be willing to negotiate a deal significantly less than his €50 million release clause. Additionally, a potential swap deal is under consideration involving Antony, who is reportedly dissatisfied at Manchester United, with the possibility of United agreeing to cover a substantial portion of Antony's £200,000 a week salary if the transfer materializes.
