The President of Real Betis has confirmed that discussions with Manchester United take place at the end of the season, because they want to hold Antony.
The Brazilian is on a red-hot form and played again, while Betis booked a Euroopa League conference-defective date with Chelsea.
The 25-year-old, who went through a scorching time at Manchester United, scored a sensational free kick and founded Abde Ezzalzouli's extra time winner when the Seville Fiorentina established in Seville hit the semi-final.
It was the newest man of the competition performance for the New Life Blown Wing Player, who has now scored eight times and claimed five assists since he joined Betis in January.
His consistent heroic deeds have earned praise reviews and supporters are desperate for him to extend his stay in the club.
And now club president Angel Haro revealed that conversations are planned to try to keep the loan of Manchester United after the summer.
Haro told Cope: 'His name was put on the table by the sports director. It was a cheap approach because Manchester United took almost all the salary.
“The player wanted to come to Betis. It was a pure loan, it was very cheap for betis and there was no option to negotiate something.
'Keeping Antony is very, very complicated. We will have a meeting with Manchester United to extend the loan with another year, to be able to share a percentage of the player … The point is to see the construction of the player and Manchester United.
'The first filter is placed by Manchester United, and then the player's negotiation would come, but that is far away.
'Moreover, the player is now connected to lift a title with betis. When the time comes and the season is over, he will be able to do his bit when this option opens. '
Antony was signed by United of Ajax for £ 86 million before he registered only 12 goals and five assists in 96 matches for the club.
He continues to go into force of Old Trafford and said that he believes that personal problems have prevented him from playing his best.
He admitted that his performances were far below the standard that he had seen the Manchester movement protect him and was selected as part of the Brazilian team for the World Cup 2022.
“I think, apart from my football life, my personal life stood in the way a lot, because of the things I experienced, the moments that I lived there,” Antony said.
'It likes it or not, it affected me a lot. So of course I know the potential I have.
'It is not for nothing that I went to a World Cup, it is not for nothing that I was sold to United for a lot of money, and I know my value.
'People look at this moment, but they don't look at the larger whole, what happens to let things do.
“So, as I said, my feeling at United was that I also had good moments, bad moments, but of course I could have done more, I could have done better.”
His impressive performance against Fiorentina comes at the weekend after a stunning stop time winner and he looks a different player than that at Old Trafford.
“The future? It's very early; I don't know what will happen, but I'm very happy here, “he said recently.
“I have noticed that I enjoyed football. It is now strange, although I know how talented I am, so I gave priority to go where I knew I would be happy, although I had better offers. '
Betis is in sixth place, one point away from Villareal in the qualifying place of the fifth and last Champions League, with four La Liga luminaires left.
