Manchester United attacker Antony has been linked to moves away from the club during the summer transfer.
The 26-year-old has no future for Old Trafford and needs to leave the club to play regularly. He was loaned out last season at La Liga’s outfit Real Betis. He was outstanding for them and he helped them reach the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The Spanish outfit wants to sign him forever, and they now have a deal with Manchester United.
Antony scored nine goals and five assists in 26 games for Betis last season.
I agreed to Betis on the deal
According to an Athletic report, they will pay a fee of around 28 million euros to sign the Brazilians permanently. Manchester United were able to include a 50% sell-on clause in his contract. However, the transaction is not perfect. The player is currently negotiating a retirement package with Manchester United. It is still unclear whether he will be able to sort out his wage situation.
Man United wants Antony to go away
The players pay large wages at Manchester United, and Spanish clubs cannot afford such money. It is currently unclear whether the parties will be able to secure a retirement agreement. Manchester United are desperate to get him out of the book, and players want a fresh start. The parties have sufficient motivation to make the deal.
The Brazilian tries to focus on playing regularly, and he immediately tries to sort out his future. When next year’s World Cup comes in, he will want to appear in photos of Brazil’s national team. Spain’s regular football might be ideal for him. He knows the club well and can quickly settle down and immediately influence Betis.
