Real Betis Balompié is moving cautiously in the summer transfer market, and the priority remains retaining Antony. The Brazilian's dazzling performance during his loan spell at Benito Villamarín has made a mark, and both the board and the sporting director of Betis are working tirelessly to secure his continuity. However, the situation with Manchester United is tricky, and the Heliópolis club is not losing sight of other options.

Although Antony has expressed his desire to continue wearing the green and white shirt, and authoritative voices like Gary Neville advocate for facilitating his exit from Old Trafford, the lack of significant offers from other powerful clubs keeps the uncertainty alive. Betis is aware that an operation of this magnitude can twist at any moment, especially if clubs with greater financial muscle emerge.

An Alternative to Antony Emerges at Betis

Given this scenario, the prestigious Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed that Betis is already exploring alternatives, and one name stands out: Samu Chukwueze. The talented Nigerian winger, a familiar face in LaLiga due to his time at Villarreal, has not managed to establish himself at AC Milan. Despite arriving at San Siro for €21 million, Chukwueze has lost prominence this season, not being a starter in Serie A in 2025.

With a market value of €14 million and a contract until 2028, a loan could be a feasible option for Betis. The interest in Chukwueze is not new, as the Heliopolitans already inquired about him in January. A return to Spanish football would be welcomed by the player himself, adding extra appeal to this potential addition. Betis is preparing for any scenario, aiming to secure the right flank of their attack confidently.
