Antony, the new signing of Real Betis, has a lucrative release clause in his contract, with a base amount of €50 million and a maximum possible value of €60 million. Antony has signed a long-term five-year contract with Betis. According to the terms of the contract, the specific amount of his release clause will be dynamically adjusted based on the trigger time of the release: the initial amount is set at €50 million, and if the release is activated in the later stages of the contract, the amount may rise to €60 million.
Antony has already inked a five-year contract with Betis, and his salary will fit into Betis' squad salary structure, on par with Isco's earnings. Notably, in the earlier transfer deal where Manchester United sold Antony to Betis, the two sides agreed on a transfer agreement with a complex structure. Manchester United accepted a package of a €22 million fixed transfer fee plus €4 million in variable bonuses. At the same time, the Red Devils also successfully retained a 50% share of the player's future transfer proceeds — this means that if Betis sells Antony in the future, Manchester United will receive half of the appreciation as a cut.This does not mean Manchester United will get 50% of Antony's future transfer fee; instead, it refers to 50% of the profits. Manchester United will receive 50% of any profits Betis gains based on their €25 million base figure, and that 50% will belong to Manchester United.
