Antony Begging Man U to Accept Betis Offer! Shock Transfer Drama!
Manchester United winger Antony is reportedly pushing the club to accept a transfer offer from Real Betis. The Brazilian international, who spent the second half of last season on loan with the Spanish side, is eager to return to Spain for regular playing time ahead of next year's World Cup. Eish, this transfer saga is getting heated!
Antony Desperate for Betis Return
Sources close to the agents' industry indicate that Man Utd are holding firm on their €40 million asking price for Antony, which is causing a major delay. Betis have already submitted two proposals, hoping to reach an agreement with the Red Devils as Antony tries to get this move done ASAP. He's clearly not feeling the love at Old Trafford anymore.
What Are Betis Offering?
One anonymous source spilled the beans to CaughtOffside, revealing the details of Betis' offers. United are still sticking to their €40 million valuation, but Betis have proposed two options: firstly, a loan deal with an option to buy a portion of Antony's rights. This solution would be easier to manage within the club's salary constraints. Secondly, a direct purchase of a percentage of the player for around €20 million, which Betis is ready to commit to immediately. Will United budge?
There's a sliver of optimism from Betis' side that the two clubs might reach an agreement soon. However, there's also news that Fenerbahce, managed by ex-Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho, are keen on Antony and willing to meet United's asking price of €45 million. Could Mourinho be the spoiler in this transfer drama? Only time will tell!
Antony's previous loan spell at Betis was a success, scoring nine goals and assisting five in the league and UEFA Conference League. This strong performance has increased his value and attracted interest from other clubs, including Al Nassr. However, his heart seems set on a return to Betis.
United Flops on the Way Out?
Antony isn't the only United player potentially heading for the exit door this summer. The club is also open to offers for players like Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Tyrell Malacia. It seems like a major squad overhaul is on the cards at Old Trafford. Will these moves revitalize the team and bring back the glory days? We'll be watching closely!
