Antony has immediately become a favorite with Real Betis since he on loan from Manchester United during the winter transfer window, and supporters are already calling him to stay in the club permanently.
Antony, who turned 25 last week, made an excellent start of his short enchantment in the Benito Villamarin, after he had scored three goals and had delivered two assists in six performances – he was also sent in his last match against Getafe, although that red card was later destroyed on appeal.
All parties have enjoyed in recent weeks, and because Antony has noticed that he already likes the life of Betis, a deal that may be permanently closed in the summer.
For now, it is expected that Antony will return to Man United in the summer, especially since there is not an option to buy for Betis in the loan agreement signed in January. However, the Premier League giants seem to be willing to give up the Brazilian winger on a permanent basis, whereby Tuttomercatoweb (via ED) reported that they have determined an asking price of € 50 million – which is about half of the amount they have paid to bring it in in 2022 in 2022.
It would mean that Antony would be a record transfer costs for Betis, with their current highest editions for another Brazilian winger in Denilson, who went back in 1998 for a reimbursement of € 30 million.
Betis is one of the many La Liga clubs that have financial problems, so it can be difficult for them to have the money available to permanently sign Antony. If they cannot manage it this summer, they can miss their chance, because the report also says that Juventus likes him, because he is impressed by his exploits in Andalusia in recent weeks.
