Real Betis is close to reaching an agreement with Manchester United regarding Antony's transfer. The player has long been eager to return to Real Betis, and despite continuous pressure from Manchester United to accept the incoming transfer offers, he remains firmly determined to play under Manuel Pellegrini.
The player has fallen in love with the club and the city, and is eager to return during this transfer window, no matter what happens. Therefore, Real Betis' senior management is making every effort to sign him.
Consequently, Real Betis' senior management, led by Manu Fajardo, met with Manchester United officials in Manchester to seek to remove obstacles to the deal, and the two parties finally reached an agreement recently.
The two sides have basically reached an agreement to acquire 50% of Antony's ownership for 20 million euros.
In this way, the two clubs will jointly own the player—a method that Real Betis has already adopted in other transfer deals, such as the one involving Abde.
Regardless, the player is eager to return and is even willing to take a salary cut to fight for a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. At present, only a few details remain to be finalized, so this is likely the final stage of the deal.
