Antony has become the protagonist of the summer market after arousing the interest of Atlético de Madrid, who aim to secure his services while closely watched by Real Betis. The Brazilian winger, who had a remarkable second half of the season with the green and white team, could return to Spanish football, albeit not necessarily to the team where he regained his form. The first contacts have already been made from the Metropolitano, raising alarms in Heliópolis.
Antony, on Atlético de Madrid's radar
Antony's time at the Benito Villamarín made an impression. His flair, audacity, and connection with the fans made him one of the offensive references of the team despite the short period. Therefore, Betis had him as a top target to reinforce their squad for the upcoming season, but financial constraints pose a difficult obstacle. Manchester United is not willing to negotiate below certain figures, giving the red and whites an advantage.
At Atlético, they believe that the Brazilian's addition could bring speed and imbalance on the wing, two aspects that Simeone values highly to revamp the attack. The player, in turn, is willing to listen to offers, and the prospect of competing in a club that will play in the Champions League appeals to him. Furthermore, his previous experience in LaLiga could ease his adaptation if the transfer materializes.
While in Seville discontent grows among Betis fans due to the potential loss of a player they already felt as their own, in Madrid, the interest has moved to the realm of sports planning. Everything points to Antony's future being resolved in the coming weeks, leaning towards the Spanish capital if nothing changes in the negotiations.
