Juventus enter Antony race! Man Utd reject eyed by Serie A giants and Atletico Madrid as Brazilian's Real Betis future is plunged into doubt

Football Espana claims that Juventus and Atletico have registered an interest in the Brazilian, who is starring on loan at Betis. However, the report adds that the winger is more of a 'priority' for Villarreal, Atletico, and Betis - the last of which wants to sign him on loan again next season.

Antony has seemingly managed to reignite his flatlining career in a matter of months since joining Betis on loan from United in January. But the report adds that Betis will not be able to afford to sign him permanently unless they qualify for next season's Champions League - with the 25-year-old valued at €40-50 million (£33.5-42m). They sit one spot and three points behind fifth-placed Villarreal in La Liga, who occupy the last qualification spot. With United keen to sell, that puts Betis at a big disadvantage.

Since joining Betis on loan, Antony has scored eight goals and bagged five assists in 22 appearances in all competitions. The ex-Ajax man has played a key role in helping Betis reach the Conference League final, too.

Transfer speculation aside, Antony will hope to fire Betis to victory against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Thursday.
