The Brazilian arrives in Manchester to negotiate his future with United, while Betis waits to square the dots with both parties.
A new phase is opening in the Antony deal . The footballer put an end to his vacation and traveled to Manchester to negotiate his future with United. Now, a renewed scenario presents itself, in which the player intends to give his approval to any transaction that sends him back to Heliópolis. He was happy during his months with Betis and will convey that wish to his club, which signed him several years ago, paying almost one hundred million euros for him.
The player's role is important at this point in the transfer market . Betis has already exposed its weapons and transferred them to Manchester United a few days ago. They can make a mandatory transfer starting next season that would involve the acquisition of 50% of the player's rights . In this way, they are confident that his qualitative leap will continue in LaLiga and that the winger's market value will increase to the benefit of both clubs. United is considering this while keeping an eye on the emergence of other suitors who could put a larger sum on the table.
Betis considers Antony the hypothetical cherry on the cake for their summer move. Pellegrini knows he can continue to make a difference in his team, and he's a clear priority. Beyond whether Antony can convince United to return to Heliópolis, there will be another detail to negotiate regarding the player's salary, which is rising to levels the Betis club won't be able to reach. There's confidence that an agreement can be reached on that front, even if it means Antony will have to say no to better offers and even to his current contract with the English club.
