Real Betis has been working for weeks on the signing of Real Betis Anthony, the Manchester United winger, but the deal has been getting complicated due to the high financial figures involved.

Although the Brazilian player is willing to take the step and wear the green and white definitively, the amount demanded by Manchester United is far from what Real Betis can afford at the moment.

The player's desire is clear: he wants to be part of Pellegrini's project and return to LaLiga, where he already showcased his quality in his previous stint. However, the Betis board cannot jeopardize its budget on a single signing. The situation has created tension because Betis needs to strengthen its wings, and time is running out.

The sports management has considered different formulas to try to unblock the negotiation. Among them, there are talks of staggered payments, a loan with a mandatory purchase option, or even introducing clauses that would allow United to benefit from a future sale. The goal is to ensure the deal does not disrupt the accounts and, at the same time, provide Pellegrini with the reinforcement he desperately needs.

Samuel Chukwueze, the alternative that seduces Real Betis.

In parallel, the club has already thought about a Plan B. And that name is none other than Samuel Chukwueze, current player of AC Milan. The Nigerian arrived at San Siro in June 2023 after his spell at Villarreal, in a deal close to 21 million euros. In Italy, he signed a long contract until 2028, but in these two seasons, he has not fully secured a regular starting position, opening the door to a potential exit.

Chukwueze is an electric winger, with pace, dribbling ability, and the capacity to create danger from the right flank. His attributes align perfectly with Pellegrini's offensive style, who seeks a player capable of breaking through tight defenses, contributing goals as well as assists. At 26, he still has room for growth and experience in top-level competitions like Serie A, LaLiga, and European competitions.

For Real Betis, his signing would mean bringing back a player already known to the Spanish fans, someone who shone at Villarreal and who, with confidence, could become an offensive reference. Moreover, as it would not be as costly as Antony's deal, the Andalusian club could better manage its finances and maintain financial stability, crucial to facing the rest of the season with assurance.

At Heliópolis, they are clear: Antony remains the primary target, but the option of Chukwueze cannot be ruled out. The sports management does not want to reach the last days of the transfer window empty-handed, hence keeping both paths open. The Brazilian is the aspiration, but the Nigerian represents a realistic solution with immediate potential.

The signing will depend on Manchester United in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Real Betis is seeking solutions, knowing that quick decisions must be made to provide Pellegrini with a competitive attack to face a season packed with challenges in LaLiga, Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Europa League.
