Heads up, Benfica: Real Betis join race for Amorim’s outcast | OneFootball

Antony has been one of the names associated with Benfica this off-season, to fill the right-winger position, however, despite the interest of the reds cooling down, the structure is attentive to the advances of Real Betis, who intends to reach an agreement with Rúben Amorim's Manchester United.

Considered by Benfica as a possible successor for Ángel Di María's position, the winger is unlikely to be a reinforcement, as Fabrizio Romano, through his account on social network X, revealed that Betis continues to be confident that they will close the deal for the player who shone in the green and white jersey.

Discarded by Rúben Amorim - and with an ultimatum from Manchester United - Antony could well return to a club he knows well and where he was much loved by the Sevillian fans. In the same post, the Italian journalist reports that the Spanish directors have been holding direct negotiations with the red devils' officials.

Along the same lines, Fabrizio Romano suggests that the deal involves a new loan, this time for a season and Betis is expecting to close the transfer as quickly as possible. As for Benfica, the eagles are now following Carlos Álvarez's trail.

In the second half of the 24/25 sports season, while playing for Real Betis, Antony - currently valued at 35 million euros - played 29 games: 17 in the Spanish League and nine in the Conference League. In 2,135 minutes on the field, the Brazilian international scored nine goals and six assists, helping the team reach the final of the European competition, even though they were defeated by Chelsea.
