Man Utd come up with transfer 'Plan B' for flop Antony in case Real Betis and interested clubs fail to meet €40m asking price

LaLiga

Rayo Vallecano

Real Betis

Premier League

Chelsea

Manchester United

<p>The Brazil international was deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford in January. Having struggled for a spark in English football, the South American winger was allowed to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chosen-one-antony-goal-celebration-explained-real-betis-man-utd/blt80d60ad4fce794df" target="_blank">take on a new challenge in Spain</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>A change of scenery has served Antony well, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/antony-speaks-man-utd-flop-scores-another-stunner-real-betis-last-gasp-win-espanyol/bltc9a2a729351113e5" target="_blank">seven goals being recorded for Betis - including a couple of stunning efforts</a>. Speculation is now raging when it comes to his future, with various options being discussed.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>United are said to be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-asking-price-antony-revealed-new-suitor-real-betis-battle-la-liga-rival-brazilian-winger-transfer-window/blt3f5f4d79cd62622e" target="_blank">looking for around €40 million (£34m/$45m) from any permanent deal for Antony</a>. Atletico Madrid have joined the hunt there. The Red Devils are, however, aware that their asking price may not be met.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>In that case, <a href="https://www.relevo.com/futbol/liga-primera/betis-posiciona-antony-heliopolis-prioridad-20250505124524-nt.html " target="_blank"><em>Relevo</em></a> reports that another loan switch will be sanctioned. That could play into Betis’ hands, as they cannot afford to buy Antony outright. They remain in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/players-man-utd-must-sell-summer-transfer-window-ruben-amorim-rebuild/blt8282f5594b643f70" target="_blank">constant contact with officials in Manchester</a>, with United eager to avoid letting Antony go to another Premier League club.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Champions League qualification would work in Betis’ favour, while Antony is eager to find regular football in comfortable surroundings as he bids to make Brazil’s World Cup squad in 2026. His wishes will be taken into account during any transfer discussions.</p>
