The winger Antony, who currently plays for Manchester United, has been linked with a move to an unexpected European club.
According to reports, the 24-year-old player has been having a difficult time ever since he moved from the Dutch club Ajax to Old Trafford in the summer of 2022. The transfer was reportedly worth a fee of €95 million.
Following his departure from United during the January transfer window, Antony signed a loan deal with Real Betis, a Spanish La Liga club, that will keep him there until the end of the 24/25 season.
Antony has been able to find some form ever since he moved to Spain. He has scored twice in the three matches that Manuel Pellegrini’s team has played over the past three matches.
The long-term future of Antony is still unknown, and this week, it was reported that the winger has been linked with a move to a club that competes in the Champions League.
Antony, a star player for Manchester United, has been linked with a shocking move to a European powerhouse.
The German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have reportedly begun negotiations with Manchester United in order to acquire Antony, as reported by the Spanish news outlet Fichajes.
In spite of the fact that they paid 95 million euros to bring him to Old Trafford, it has been suggested that United are willing to do business at a price of approximately fifty million euros.
The following is an excerpt from the report: “Negotiations have begun, and in Munich, prospects for the arrival of the Brazilian are looking favourable.” It is possible that his transfer to Bayern will be finalised within the next few months if he continues to perform exceptionally well at Betis.
Junior Pedroso, who represents Antony, recently gave an interview to Give Me Sport in which he stated, “This [early success] is possible because Antony is so, so happy.” His joy is palpable, and you can sense it both on and off the pitch.
“He’s been able to adapt very quickly and that’s absolutely crucial – it means we’ve been able to pick the best option possible.”
“When we began thinking about and planning Antony’s temporary transfer, we knew that it would be a project that would only last for a short period of time,” he continued. It would be our concern that he and his family would be able to adjust quickly and find a form of play that would contribute to the enhancement of his characteristics.
Each and every person’s viewpoint was unanimous. Following that, we devised a plan to map out the clubs that he could play for, and we determined that Betis would be the best possible destination. Antony’s primary technical and physical characteristics are significantly improved as a result of playing Spanish football. It is easier for him to make use of all of his abilities, which gives him an advantage in terms of attack efficiency. Because of this, we gave our approval, and Manchester United also gave their blessing.
