Antony has spent the last few months reviving his career in Spain after a difficult spell at Manchester United.
The Brazilian winger struggled for form and confidence at Old Trafford, ultimately falling out of favour and joining Real Betis on loan in January.
His time in La Liga proved to be a much-needed turning point.
He delivered nine goals and five assists in just 26 appearances across all competitions.

With regular game time and renewed confidence, Antony found a rhythm that had been missing during his turbulent Premier League stay.
His impressive resurgence has naturally sparked conversations over what comes next for the 25-year-old.
According to Diario de Sevilla, Real Betis have now submitted a proposal to Manchester United outlining how they intend to keep Antony permanently.
The Spanish club are reportedly willing to pay an initial €15m (£12.79m), with a structure in place that could see the deal rise to €20m (£17.05m) through add-ons and a significant sell-on clause.
Betis are hopeful the staggered payment plan will appeal to United.
Though the Red Devils must weigh that against their original £84m outlay on the winger.

There has recently been talk of Betis paying for a percentage of Antony.
In essence, owning part of the player.
In theory this would work in place of a loan offer, making an obligatory buy at the end of the season even more concrete.
Antony still has two years remaining on his current deal and is among the higher earners at Old Trafford – another key factor in the decision.
While he has expressed interest in staying at Betis, United boss Ruben Amorim is not planning to reintegrate the Brazilian into his first-team plans, pushing for clarity over the player’s exit as quickly as possible.
United earlier revealed their new kit for the 2025-26 season, with Antony’s name along with Jadon Sancho unavailable for shirt printing.
