Ex-teammate confirms Antony’s Real Betis return holdout

The Transfer Saga of Antony at Manchester United

Manchester United has faced challenges in offloading players this summer, with Antony being one of the players they have struggled to sell. Despite interest from multiple clubs following his successful loan spell at Real Betis, a transfer has yet to materialize.

Antony’s Preference for Real Betis

During his time at Real Betis, Antony expressed his comfort and satisfaction with the club, leading to speculation that he prioritizes a return for the upcoming season. While Betis has proposed a loan deal, Manchester United is adamant about selling the Brazilian winger, causing a deadlock in negotiations.

Despite the impasse, there is optimism within Betis that Antony will eventually join them. Natan, Antony’s former teammate and compatriot, expressed his hope for Antony’s return, indicating a strong desire within the club to secure his services for another season or two.

Man United’s Deadline for Resolution

Reports suggest that Manchester United is growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress in Antony’s transfer. Despite his preference for Betis, the club has set a deadline for him to secure a move before the start of the new Premier League season. Failure to do so could result in Antony being sidelined until the winter transfer window.

The situation surrounding Antony remains fluid, with Betis holding a strong position at the moment. However, if Manchester United’s ultimatum forces a resolution, Betis could potentially miss out on securing his services for the upcoming season.
