Real Betis have confirmed the signing of Brazilian winger Antony from Manchester United in a âŹ25 million (ÂŁ22m) deal. The move includes a 50% sell-on clause on any future profit, ending weeks of tense negotiations over the playerâs wages. Antony returns to Betis permanently after a successful loan spell, having revitalised his career in La Liga following a difficult stint at Old Trafford.
Antonyâs Manchester United nightmare is coming to a close, with Real Betis agreeing a âŹ25 million (ÂŁ22m/$29m) transfer for their former loan star.
Real Betis have put out a statement confirming that they have pulled out of Antony transfer unless Manchester United shell out an exit fee or the player lowers his salary demands. The La Liga side sensationally walked away from a deal just hours after a transfer package worth ÂŁ21.6 million ($29m) had been agreed. Betis admitted they couldnât afford the astronomical financial demands tied to the agreement with United.
Manchester United outcast Antony has reportedly moved out of his luxurious mansion in Hale, Greater Manchester, as he checked into a hotel close to the airport with his family. The Brazilian winger is on the verge of ending his United nightmare after Real Betis reached an agreement in principle to bring back the 25-year-old to La Liga.
Antonyâs turbulent spell at Manchester United looks to be drawing to a close, with it reported that Real Betis have reached an agreement in principle to bring the winger back to Spain. The Brazilian has been frozen out under United boss Ruben Amorim, who wasted no time in signalling that the 25-year-old had no role in his long-term project at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim has made it clear Manchester Unitedâs âbomb squadâ players must take responsibility for securing their own exits before the transfer window closes. With Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia still on the fringes of his squad, the Red Devils boss admitted it is 'not a good thing' to carry unsettled players into the new season.
Antony's former Real Betis team-mate has urged the Spanish club to re-sign the Brazilian from Manchester United this summer. Antony enjoyed an impressive loan spell in the last six months of the 2025-26 campaign and is reportedly keen on returning to Spain. The winger is clear on his stance as he do not intend to play for any other club other Betis.
