The future of Manchester United winger Antony is going to be one of the key topics to be discussed in the next few weeks.
Real Betis are always waiting to understand what happens to the Brazilian, as they remain interested in Antony and hope to be able to find a solution for Antony to stay at the club - at least for one more season.
Manchester United won’t keep him and are now actively looking for the best solution possible from a financial point of view.

Behind the scenes, one of the clubs opening concrete discussions to get Antony a few weeks ago was Juventus.
Yes, because with the former director of football - Cristiano Giuntoli - who just left his role 11 days ago, Juventus were actively exploring a potential swap deal for Antony to join the Italian club and a Juventus player to go opposite way, destination Manchester United.
The now former Juventus director appreciated Antony as a smart option to reinforce the squad after his excellent loan at Betis.

Sources reveal that the proposed swap deal discussed by Juventus was with Douglas Luiz to Manchester United and Antony to the Italian club, with initial talks taking place to consider the move.
Douglas Luiz - described as "world-class" by former Aston Villa teammate John McGinn - was already on Manchester United's list last January but nothing happened, while Antony is appreciated in Italy and Juventus were prepared to discuss different formulas for this deal to happen, eventually also on a double loan with buy option clauses.

Why did it collapse? Because Juventus director Giuntoli left the club a few days ago in a reshape decided by the ownership with new director Damien Comolli now taking care of the operations.
The discussion for Antony and Douglas Luiz, at the moment, is not even advancing anymore. Let's see later in the window if this story can change, but Juventus really considered Antony - now it is up to the new directors.
