Michail Antonio Holds Exploratory Talks With Charlton Over Short-Term Deal

The 35-year-old free agent is being considered for a brief stint as Charlton assess a late-season addition.

Overview

  • BBC Sport reports early discussions between Antonio and Charlton with no agreement in place and talks described as exploratory.
  • Manager Nathan Jones is understood to see potential value in adding Antonio for the run-in if terms and fitness align.
  • Antonio has not featured in English club football since a December 2024 car crash that shattered his femur; he later made substitute appearances for Jamaica at the 2025 Gold Cup.
  • Prior avenues with Brentford and Leicester did not materialise, with a recent Leicester opportunity ending after he picked up an injury while training.
  • Charlton are in a Championship survival fight with room to register a free agent, sitting 18th and reported seven points clear of the drop after a midweek win.
