Real Betis' Master Plan to Sign Antony

Real Betis has outlined an ambitious strategy to secure Antony, the Brazilian winger who excelled during his loan spell at Heliópolis. The Betis board is working on a specific proposal: acquiring half of the player's rights for €25 million plus variables, a formula that could end up meeting Manchester United's demands as they seek to recoup part of the significant investment made in 2022.

Antony, 25, is not in Rubén Amorim's plans at Old Trafford, prompting the player to seek an exit before the transfer deadline. Despite having offers from powerful clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia, the Brazilian has expressed his clear intention to stay at Benito Villamarín, where he found stability, prominence, and an ideal environment to revive his career. His goal is to stay in the elite and regain a place in the Brazilian national team, looking ahead to the 2026 World Cup.

Real Betis Wants to Sign Antony

Aware of the high cost of the operation, Betis has ruled out requesting another loan, aligning with United's stance that only considers a permanent sale. The Andalusian club has earned a significant sum from the departures of key players like Johnny Cardoso and Jesús Rodríguez and plans to use part of those funds to approach the requested price.

Although there is still room for negotiation, optimism is growing within the Betis environment. The player's desire to continue under Manuel Pellegrini's guidance is a crucial factor that could tip the balance. If discussions progress in the coming days, Antony's signing could become one of the most significant moves of the summer for the Seville-based club.
