Real Betis is determined to strengthen its attack in the winter transfer market, and the main target for the Verdiblancos is Antony, the Brazilian winger from Manchester United. The sports management, led by Manu Fajardo, has been working on this operation for weeks, aware that it will not be easy due to the high cost of the player and the competition from other interested clubs.

The initial contacts between the two teams began in December, but negotiations have intensified in recent days. According to reports from the newspaper MARCA, Betis has made a second proposal closer to the demands of the English club, which paid €95 million to Ajax for the attacker. The idea would be to finalize a loan deal until the end of the season, with United assuming a significant part of the player's salary.

They hope his signing will be decisive in the fight for European qualification

Antony, 24, is going through a tough period at Old Trafford, where he has lost prominence since Amorim's arrival on the bench. With just 400 minutes played this season and only one goal to his name, the Brazilian would be open to the opportunity to revive his career in LaLiga, where Manuel Pellegrini's project is appealing to him.

For Betis, Antony would be a key piece in their attack, alongside figures like Isco, Lo Celso, and Abde, strengthening an offense with European ambitions. Although there are details to sort out, the Andalusian club is speeding up negotiations to outpace other suitors and secure the signing of this promising player.
