Man United star Antony rejects Serie A switch to wait for Real Betis | OneFootball

Manchester United star Antony knocked back a transfer proposal on the part of Serie A outfit Como over recent days.

This comes with the Brazilian international holding out hope of sealing a move back to Spain, with Real Betis.

Wide-man Antony of course spent the 2nd half of the 2024/25 campaign plying his trade in La Liga.

After another disappointing half-season on the books of the aforementioned Man United, the former Ajax man was granted a loan exit, linking up with Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis.

And Antony went on to enjoy a new lease of life in Seville.

After quickly establishing himself as a starter in Betis’ XI, the 25-year-old racked up nine goals and five assists in 26 appearances across all competitions.

Upon his loan terms coming to a close this month, Antony, though, was forced to depart the Estadio Benito Villamarín, returning to parent club Man United.

But if the latest word stemming from the media this weekend is anything to go by, then the attacker has evidently not given up hope of securing a Verdiblancos reunion.

As per a report from transfer insider Fabrizio Romano:

‘Italian side Como have tried to sign Antony in recent days but Brazilian winger is giving priority to Real Betis return. Man United are also aware of Antony’s preference to continue at Betis next season, no club to club agreement yet.’
