After a productive loan spell in Seville, Antony’s name is once again circulating in transfer discussions. The Brazilian winger, who left Manchester United on loan in early 2025, enjoyed a strong run of form at Real Betis, scoring nine goals in the second half of the campaign. Despite a disappointing end to their European journey—falling to Chelsea in the UEFA Conference League final—Betis managed to clinch fifth place in La Liga, guaranteeing a Europa League spot for next season.
The 25-year-old has restored some of his reputation following a difficult period at Old Trafford. His performances in Spain have not gone unnoticed, with top European sides now exploring the possibility of securing his signature. With interest mounting, Manchester United see this summer as a window of opportunity to secure a sizeable transfer fee.
United weigh options as Betis and others circle
Manchester United are open to moving Antony on, with manager Ruben Amorim aiming to reduce the squad’s wage commitments. As the winger prepares to return to Manchester in the coming days, discussions are set to begin over what comes next in his career.
Atletico Madrid and Juventus have reportedly initiated contact with Antony’s camp to gather more details about a possible transfer. Meanwhile, Real Betis are exploring ways to bring the player back. One potential scenario would involve a second loan deal, coupled with a stake in his economic rights—allowing United to sell him next summer while Betis profit from a future sale.
That proposal, however, depends on negotiations regarding Antony’s salary. For the deal to progress, either the player would need to agree to reduced terms, or United would have to offer a compromise that fits within Amorim’s financial plans for the squad.
