Representatives from Real Betis are set to meet with counterparts from Manchester United next week to discuss the future of winger Antony following his successful stint in Spain.
After falling out of favour at Old Trafford, the Brazilian moved to Betis on loan during the January transfer window.
He was part of the Spanish club's recent run to the Conference League final, scoring five goals in 17 appearances across all competitions.
According to Spanish outlet Marca, Betis are likely to table another loan offer for Antony.
United are expected to instead be keen on recuperating a sizeable chunk of the £82 million spent when Antony moved from Ajax in 2022.
Another option being considered is for Betis to purchase a portion of Antony's rights.

While holding onto a percentage of the player, United would still be able to sell him in future windows, should more game time and on-field success see his price increase.
By purchasing a percentage of Antony's rights, Betis would stand to benefit financially from a future move as well.
It is expected, though, that such an arrangement would need the Brazilian to cut his wage demands.
With Antony in tow, Betis reached the recent Conference League final only to lose to Chelsea.
The winger's free-kick during the semi-finals against Fiorentina was a highlight of his time in Seville.
Betis finished the season sixth in La Liga, guaranteeing them European football once again next season.
