Antony scored nine goals for Betis in the second half of the 2024-25 campaign, making him a highly sought-after player this summer. However, he has expressed a desire to return to Seville and is unlikely to leave United for any other club, especially one outside of Europe.
The reports suggest that the Red Devils must sell Antony for £32.8 million to avoid making a loss on his transfer from Ajax in 2022. Despite his high wages, a move back to Betis is Antony's priority, but the club cannot afford to pay the required fee or reduce his wages significantly.
Manchester United need to offload players to make further additions in the transfer market, and they must find a solution for Antony soon. He risks being stuck at the club or loaned out, similar to what happened to Marcus Rashford earlier this month.
