Real Betis are keen to loan Antony from Manchester United but a deal is considered 'unaffordable' at this stage.
The Brazilian has not yet started a league match for United this season, but has been used off the bench by Ruben Amorim.
Erik ten Hag made Antony, his former Ajax striker, one of his first signings in 2022 in a mega £85.5million transfer, but things are not going to plan.
It can be a challenge to find a club that can loan a high-earning player. In the case of Jadon Sancho at Borussia Dortmund and Mason Greenwood at Getafe last season, the Red Devils paid part of the stars' wages to make deals financially viable.
Recently, Antony's agent Junior Pedroso told GiveMeSport that his client is willing to go out on loan.
“Many clubs have approached us about Antony's move in January,” he says.
'These clubs wanted to gain insight into the situation for Antony, so I can confirm that there is concrete interest.
“I can say that Antony's future is strongly linked to the interests of Manchester United. If the club thinks it is a good idea to loan Antony in January so that he can get more minutes and regain his confidence, we will work on that option together.
“Otherwise, Antony is working hard to regain his place and show his best skills under new coach Ruben Amorim.”
Betis, managed by Manuel Pellegrini, are ninth in LaLiga. United are open to offers for the majority of the squad.
