Man United agree €28 million deal with Real Betis for Antony

Manchester United attacker Antony has been linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window.

The 26-year-old does not have a future at Old Trafford, and he needs to leave the club to play regularly. He was on loan at La Liga outfit Real Betis last season. He was outstanding for them, and he helped them reach the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The Spanish outfit are hoping to sign him permanently, and they have now secured an agreement with Manchester United.

Antony scored 9 goals and picked up 5 assists in 26 matches for Betis last season.

Deal agreed with Betis

According to a report from The Athletic, they will pay a fee of around €28 million to sign the Brazilian permanently. Manchester United managed to include a 50% sell-on clause in his contract. However, a deal is far from complete. The player is now negotiating a severance package with Manchester United. It remains to be seen whether the situation with his wages can be sorted out.

Both parties have enough motivation to get the deal across the line.
