Linked with Benfica, Antony still highly rated in Spain | OneFootball

With no room at Rúben Amorim's Manchester United, Antony's fate seems to lie outside the English club. According to what has been found, the former Brazilian international is expected to return to Real Betis, where he was loaned in recent months and, as far as it is known, the Sevillians intend to count on the player.

Considered by Benfica as a possible successor to Ángel Di María's position, the winger is not expected to be a reinforcement, as Fabrizio Romano, through his social network X account, revealed that Betis remains confident that they will be able to close the deal for the player who shone with 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 Sevillian fans. In the same publication, the transalpine journalist reports that Spanish leaders have been holding direct negotiations with the red devils' officials.

In the same line of thought, Fabrizio Romano suggests that the deal involves a new loan, this time for a season, and Betis is hoping 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, 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.
