Real Betis eye Nigeria international as Antony backup

Real Betis Seeking New Winger Amid Antony Uncertainty

Real Betis is actively looking to bolster their squad this summer, with a new winger at the top of their shopping list. While their priority is to bring back Antony, who impressed during his loan spell at the Benito Villamarin last season, negotiations with Manchester United have hit a roadblock due to the club’s high demands.

Bayer Leverkusen and other clubs have expressed interest in signing the Brazilian winger, complicating Betis’ pursuit of Antony.

AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze Emerges as Alternative Option

In light of the uncertainty surrounding Antony’s potential return, Real Betis has started exploring alternative options. According to reports from Diario AS, AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze has caught the eye of Betis’ sporting department.

Chukwueze, who has found playing time hard to come by at Milan, is reportedly available for a transfer as the Rossoneri look to raise funds for squad reinforcements. Betis sees the Nigerian winger as a viable option to strengthen their attacking options for the upcoming season, especially with European competition on the horizon.

Pellegrini Eyes Winger to Enhance Squad Depth

With the need for a new winger evident, Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini is keen on adding quality to his squad. Chukwueze’s desire for a more prominent role aligns with Betis’ ambitions, making him a suitable candidate to bolster the team’s attacking prowess alongside Ez Abde and Jesus Rodriguez.

While Antony remains the preferred choice, Chukwueze presents a solid alternative for Betis as they aim to reinforce their squad ahead of the new season.
