Man United winger Antony is holding out for a return to Real Betis despite heavy interest from other clubs.
Antony Turns Down Big Offers to Rejoin Betis
Manchester United‘s Antony has made it clear that his heart lies in Spain. After spending the second half of last season on loan at Real Betis, the winger seems determined to go back.
The player has got strong interest from his homeland Sao Paulo and Botafogo. In addition, a big-money offer from Saudi Arabia was also on the table. But, Antony has declined all three.
As per Estadio Deportivo, the player has put those alternatives on hold for the time being. He is waiting to see what Betis will do.
During his time in Spain, under Manuel Pellegrini, Antony got back to his best again after a difficult time in England. He enjoyed his time playing football, led the team to a UEFA Europa Conference League final as well. He has clearly suited to the playing style at Betis.
Man United Likely to Let Go as Winger Eyes Spain
Back at Old Trafford, it’s no secret that Antony is not seen as a core part of Man Utd’s future. The club is getting ready to sell him this summer. They want to get some of the £85m spent in 2022.
Betis will surely like to keep the winger, but money may have the final say. Their funds are limited, and United is going to have to lower their asking price. The winger wants a place where he can play with confidence.
Returning to Betis appears a good option to a player who is trying to reset his form at the highest level. It shows about Antony’s loyalty to Betis. A return to La Liga could be the step Antony needs after a hard time in Manchester.
