Antony is attracting significant interest after an impressive loan spell at Real Betis in the latter half of the 2024/25 season.
Although they were defeated by Chelsea in the UEFA Conference League final, Real Betis successfully finished fifth in La Liga, securing qualification for next season`s Europa League.
The Brazilian international chose to leave Manchester United on loan at the start of 2025 and, revitalized, the 25-year-old scored nine goals for Real Betis.
United are willing to sell him this summer as Ruben Amorim aims to reduce the wage burden at Old Trafford.
Potential Destinations for Antony
With his value restored, United sees a chance to command a substantial transfer fee for the former Ajax winger. Atletico Madrid and Juventus have reportedly contacted his representatives to inquire about a possible transfer.
United plans to hold discussions with Antony upon his return to Manchester shortly to finalize his future.
However, Real Betis` prospects of making his stay permanent next season face a further obstacle. A claim has emerged that Erik ten Hag is interested in bringing him to Bayer Leverkusen.
Ten Hag famously brought Antony to United, and the Dutch manager is now seeking new players as he takes over from Xabi Alonso at the BayArena.
Can Real Betis Retain Antony?
One possibility for Real Betis is to propose another loan deal that includes a percentage of Antony`s future sale rights. This arrangement would allow United to sell him next summer while giving Real Betis a share of the profit.
Nevertheless, this scenario would necessitate Antony accepting lower wages, or United finding a solution to ease this financial issue for Amorim this summer.
