One player attracting interest is Brazilian Antony, who is currently going through a difficult time at Manchester United, a club who paid a whopping €100 million for his services.
This monumental amount is not reflected in his contributions with the Red Devils, where he has just one goal in 11 appearances this season.
As reported by the Seville daily ABC, Real Betis, under the leadership of Manuel Pellegrini, plans to pursue Antony during the winter transfer window.
Although it was clarified that the operation is “very difficult” for the Andalusian club, the publication indicated that “initial steps have already taken place through the sports management led by Fajardo and agents of the Brazilian , who see the Betis opportunity in a positive way to revive the career of Antony, who has only played 349 minutes this season.”
Furthermore, it has been clarified that the striker enjoys a substantial salary which Betis cannot fully match. However, the proposed deal, initially in the form of a loan, includes the possibility of cost sharing with United and the player agreeing to give up part of his income to facilitate a transfer.
Finally, the article highlights that “Antony’s footballing attributes are ideal for Pellegrini’s style, which constantly seeks elite-level players to enhance the team’s competitive advantage. The left-footed winger operates primarily on the flank straight and has blazing speed as a major asset to break down opposing defenses.”
