Real Betis has rejected an offer above 50 million euros for Antony, the 26-year-old Brazilian winger, and has halted any possibility of negotiation for his departure. The club considers the player a key piece for the 2026/27 season, in which they will compete in the Champions League.

The stance of the Real Betis transfer market is also influenced by the conditions agreed with Manchester United a year ago. Sevilla paid around 22 million euros for the Brazilian, and the English club retains 50% of the profit from any future sale.

Real Betis Does Not Want to Sell Antony

Antony permanently returned to Heliópolis in the summer of 2025 after a previous loan spell. The agreement with Manchester United allowed Betis to keep the player in exchange for approximately 22 million, while Antony signed a contract until 2030.

The investment was well below the nearly 95 million euros that United had paid to Ajax in 2022. His performance in Seville helped recover some of the value he had lost during his time in England.

During the last season, Antony ended with 14 goals and 10 assists, despite dealing with pubalgia issues. These numbers reinforced his position in Manuel Pellegrini's squad and raised interest from other clubs this summer.

Over 50 Million Doesn't Change Betis's Stance

The offer received exceeded 50 million euros, but Real Betis chose not to proceed with the negotiations. The deal structure with Manchester United significantly reduces the potential profit for the club if they were to sell now.

United would retain 50% of the profit from the price Betis paid. This arrangement means any potential transfer would need to reach a notably high amount to compensate for the loss of one of the team's key offensive players.

His market value also reached around 40 million euros last season, nearly double the initial acquisition cost.

The Champions League Influence on the Decision

The sporting strategy explains the refusal. Betis will make their return to the Champions League this season, and Pellegrini counts on Antony within the offensive lineup alongside players such as Cucho Hernández, Abde, Pablo Fornals, and Isco.

The sporting management still has pending operations before the transfer window closes. The priority remains signing a forward, with Dani Ceballos as an option to reinforce the midfield, alongside considerations for the pivot position.

The next steps depend on whether an offer significantly above 50 million euros is presented. For now, Real Betis does not intend to part with Antony, keeping the Brazilian in the squad with a focus on a season where they will once again compete in the top European competition.
