Bayern Munich have reportedly opened talks with Manchester United to sign Antony, who has been shining while on loan at Real Betis.
According toFichajes, Bayern Munich are keen to land Antony in the summer, having opened talks with Manchester United about the Brazilian attacker. The winger has seemingly revived his game while on loan at Real Betis in a matter of games, which has attracted the possibility of a big summer move.
Antony has been regarded as a flop attacker who cost Manchester United a huge outlay in terms of the fee they had to pay Ajax. In the two and a half seasons at Old Trafford, the Brazilian barely made an impact, barring the period when he signed for the club.
Whether he is one of the biggest flops in Premier League history is quite debatable, but he has probably proven a point since making the loan switch to Real Betis.Manchester United agreed terms to let the Brazilian attacker leave on a temporary deal, and he has taken hardly any games to set himself up.
Two goals in three games across all competitions have proved enough for Antony to endear himself to the Real Betis faithful, as he is eager to continue on this stellar form. The early surprise in Spain has already given rise to big interest from Bayern Munich, with the German side already coming in with the idea of landing the Brazilian in the summer.
Bayern Munich have opened talks with Manchester United to sign Antony, with a fee of €50 million mooted about in the report. The reported amount is still far less than what the Red Devils paid, although his stuttering form in the Premier League over the last two and a half years has proved crucial in the drop-off in his valuation.
Bayern Munich want Antony as a replacement for the key duo
Manchester United are willing to sell Antony in the summer, as Bayern Munich are seemingly keen to wrap up a deal as early as possible. The Bavarians are eager to freshen up their attacking setup, a process they began over in the summer with the arrival of Michael Olise. However, there are considerable doubts over the futures of Kingsley Coman andLeroy Sane, with the latter linked with Manchester United.
Should one or both of those wingers leave, Bayern Munich wants Antony to come in as a replacement, as they believe the Brazilian’s profile suits what they want. His ability on the wings could be suited to the Bundesliga, as it remains to be seen whether the Bavarians end up paying what is necessary to land Manchester United’s flop attacker.
