Michail Antonio returned to football after a serious car accident in December 2024 that left him with a badly broken leg. After years with West Ham, he returned to action last June for Jamaica at the Gold Cup. His contract ended last summer, and he considered moves to Brentford and Leicester, but muscle injuries prevented those deals. He then joined Al Sailiya in Qatar in March on a short-term deal, making a handful of appearances before it expired. Ahead of launching his memoir Humans Not Robots, he is speaking with clubs and considering retirement. He has also prepared for life after football through a business portfolio and media work, and plans to decide by mid or late June.
"I've been talking to a few clubs, he says. We're going to see what they offer but in the back of my mind, I'm thinking I could possibly retire. I'm not too sure yet, we're just going to weigh up everything that comes our way and make a decision probably by the middle of June, or the end of June."
"Antonio has already started preparing for life after retirement, having built up a business portfolio to complement his media work, and says he will think carefully in the weeks to come about what to do. It's just about what the offers are, he says of his discussions with clubs."
"Me and my agent have partnered up with a few companies and we're just weighing it up, what's the best move for me. I've got my pundit and presenting side of things as well that I can do, but ex-pros have also told me that if you're fit and you're well, try to play as much as possible, because you're a long time retired."
