Real Betis wants to re -sign Antony again from Manchester United, but as things are, they have not been able to secure an agreement that would bring the Brazilian international to the final of last season's UEFA Conference League.
The purpose of Betis is to conclude another loan agreement – but this time with an option to buy. However, Man United wants to raise money by selling Antony, who has attracted interest from a number of clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia.
The clock ticks for Betis, who no longer have time to sign Antony again. And they have now been put pressure on by Man United manager Ruben Amorim, who spoke about this on Saturday (via Marca).
“I am sure that Omar (Barrada, CEO of Man United), Jason (Wilcox, sports director) and the institution have a prize for these players. If that figure is not reached, they will continue to be Manchester United players, there is no doubt left.
“I understand that other clubs may wait until the last moment, but they can be surprised. I am ready to welcome the players. We will have more competition. If they want to play in the world cup, they must be active. I think it is perfect, because I have more options. And if they have to compete with each other to play, even better.”
The reason Betis is looking for a different loan is because they cannot afford to reach the asking price set by Man United, which is assumed to be in the region of € 40 million. They raised € 30 million from selling Johnny Cardoso to Atletico Madrid, but more funds are needed to get their main wing.
