In the coming days, Real Betis will complete the signing of Antony from Manchester United. The Brazilian winger arrives on loan for the rest of the season, and he is expected to be a very important player in Manuel Pellegrini's team – which is guaranteed by the clauses placed in the agreement between the two clubs.
There is a lot of excitement from Betis over the signing of Antony, who has already arrived in Seville ahead of his move. He has had a difficult time at Man United, but Los Verdiblancos will hope he can recapture the form he showed at Ajax.
According to MARCA, Betis Sporting Director Manu Fajardo spoke about the soon-to-be signing ahead of the club's La Liga match against Mallorca on Saturday afternoon.
“Antony's arrival is exciting. We understood from the sports management and coaching staff that we had to improve the second offensive line. Antony is already with us, but we should not individualize any player. For the team to achieve its goals, both Antony and the rest of the players will have to take a step forward and demonstrate daily, the maximum commitment and talent, to reach the goal for another year. “
Fajardo was also asked about the possibility of further signings for Betis, amid reports that a striker is wanted.
“Although the market is open, there can be many circumstances. Our commitment as we do all year round is to work 100% and be aware of any situation that may arise to improve the team. ”
Betis have had a difficult season so far and before MD21 kicked off, they sat 12th in La Liga. Antony could be the catalyst to help the Andalusians turn around their fortunes, and he could certainly provide very good links with the likes of ISCO and Giovani Lo Celso.
