Real Betis — where Antony thrived on loan, contributing nine goals and five assists — are now preparing a more serious approach to secure his services beyond this summer.
Previously, Betis were reluctant to pursue a permanent deal, but recent discussions indicate they are now “doing all they can” to assemble a package that works for all parties, as The i Paper has reported.
As competition from European heavyweights heats up, managing Antony’s exit becomes crucial not only for reshaping the squad but also for balancing the books ahead of Ruben Amorim’s second season.
Manchester United have yet to receive any bids for Rashford, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho or Jadon Sancho.
However, Antony’s departure is closer than ever.
After impressing on loan under Manuel Pellegrini at Real Betis, the Spanish side are now ready to propose a package that includes incentives and a greater share of the image rights — an offer that may appeal directly to Antony and alleviate some financial pressure on Betis
Despite having no intention of meeting United’s reported £40 million valuation, Betis are exploring alternatives such as sell-on clauses to bridge the gap .

Betis see Antony as a core player in Pellegrini’s project, with both sides eager to discuss a permanent transfer — but only on terms that work financially for both clubs.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid have emerged as a potential option, with interest in the Brazilian winger also reported from Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.
This multi-club interest may cause delays in Betis advancing their bid, as United seek to extract the maximum fee possible .
From United’s perspective, Antony’s departure is becoming increasingly important.
With no European football but high domestic aspirations, Amorim’s squad must be streamlined and freed up both in terms of wages and numbers.
Antony’s sizable contract is a drain on resources that could be redirected toward reinforcements in defence or midfield.
