MU has just increased Antony's transfer price to about £ 50 million, in the context of the Brazilian player is no longer part of coach Ruben Amorim's plan. He is currently attracting attention from many teams, including Newcastle and Brighton.
Antony now has to practice, is completely isolated from the first team, while MU tries to liquidate this player to liberate the salary fund and financial balance. During the time of Real Betis on loan, Antony scored 9 goals and 5 assists, contributing greatly to help the Spanish team reach the UEFA Conference League final.
It was that impressive performance that made many European clubs pay attention to the Brazilian player. Including Villarreal, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, and some British teams like Newcastle and Brighton.
However, Antony is said to be given priority to Betis in the form of permanent transfer. The biggest problem is that MU price requires “too high” compared to Betis's financial potential.
Initially, the Spanish press reported that MU wanted to collect £ 34 to 42 million, but this figure has increased to about £ 50 million (58 million euros), according to a reputable source from Uol (Brazil). This move is thought to be because Antony is quite interested by many teams.
Antony currently receives a salary of about £ 150,000/week at Old Trafford, but is willing to reduce income by 30% to leave this summer. MU also needs to collect at least £ 32.58 million to not suffer losses according to the Premier League's financial regulations.
Joining MU in September 2022 for £ 86 million, Antony has not met the expectations. After nearly two years, he scored 12 goals and 5 assists after 96 appearances for the Red Devils, and is now considered one of the earliest contracts to liquidate under the Ruben Amorim dynasty.
