Manchester United’s Antony Exit Complicates Real Betis Reunion

The Winger’s Future Hinges on Financial Hurdles and Club Intentions

The anticipated departure of Antony from Manchester United this summer introduces a complex situation, especially for Real Betis. While a return to Spain seems plausible, financial demands and other club interests present obstacles to the Brazilian winger’s potential move during the upcoming transfer window.

Loan Deal Denied

The Spanish side wants to bring back Antony, who had nine goals and five assists in 26 appearances. However, the Red Devils will attempt to recover most of their original investment. This financial requirement poses a considerable challenge unless significant player sales occur. The club is unwilling to consider another loan deal for the player.

Betis are not alone in wanting Antony, as multiple clubs have expressed interest, which complicates matters for the Spanish side. This situation presents an additional hurdle to the potential deal. It appears Betis’s plans face more challenges.

Financial Hurdles

Manchester United, after failing to achieve European qualification for the 2025-2026 season, needs to generate funds. Furthermore, with Antony’s contract expiring in two years, his market value will likely decrease if he remains at the club.

The transfer window for La Liga teams starts on July 1st, setting the stage for Betis to make a concrete move. If they can successfully bring Antony back on a permanent basis, it would be a significant boost for the club.
