Manchester United winger Antony is ready to take a financial blow to seal a move away from Old Trafford.
According to The Manchester Evening News, Antony is ready to take a 30% pay cut to leave the club permanently in the summer.
The Brazilian currently pockets around £150,000 per week and still has two years remaining on his contract with the Red Devils.
Manager Ruben Amorim deploy forwards who operate more centrally rather than traditional wingers.
Antony seems to be a misfit under Amorim and is likely to find a new club this summer.
He spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan at Real Betis.
The 25-year-old enjoyed a sensational spell with the La Liga club, bagging nine goals and five assists in only 26 appearances.
His career had been in decline since arriving at the Theatre of Dreams in the summer of 2022 but a spell at Betis has helped him rebuild his stock.
United were compelled to shell out an eye-watering £81.3 million to secure Antony’s signature from Ajax at the insistence of then-manager Erik ten Hag.
After a promising start, Antony failed to live up to expectations.
He lacked the end product and the creativity to play the final pass.
He also struggled to cope with the physicality of the Premier League.
The Red Devils need to recoup at least £32.58m to avoid a loss on Antony under the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability regulations.
Antony’s willingness to accept a pay cut is a sign of renewed hunger and professionalism.
He is ready to find a new club and revive his playing career unlike Jadon Sancho who refused to take a pay cut when Chelsea came calling for his signature.
