Manchester United set to demand €50 million to sell Antony to Real Betis
Manchester United winger Antony was sent out on loan to Real Betis during the winter transfer window, and the Brazilian international has been very impressive for them.
After a disappointing spell in the Premier League, Antony was sent out on loan to La Liga club Real Betis to help him regain his form and confidence with regular football. He has not disappointed with his displays, and there have been rumours that Real Betis could look to sign him permanently in the summer. According to Fichajes, Manchester United will demand €50 million for the player.
Manchester United paid a lot more for the Brazilian when they signed him from Ajax, and the Red Devils are fully aware of the fact that they will have to cut their losses on the player. They will not be able to recoup the kind of money they paid for him, and it will be interesting to see if any club is willing to pay €50 million for the player.
Manchester United might have to accept a knockdown price
Even though Antony has shown impressive form in recent weeks, it is common knowledge that the player does not have a future at Manchester United, and the Premier League giants are desperate to get rid of him. Real Betis will be hoping to take advantage of the opportunity and sign him for a knockdown price.
Returning to Manchester United will not be an option for the Brazilian international. He will want to get his career back on track with regular football. The player seems to be enjoying his football at the Spanish club once again, and the opportunity to join them permanently will be quite attractive for him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Manchester United are under pressure to sell Antony, and they will not want his market value to dip any further. Real Betis are certainly in a position of power to negotiate the deal, and it remains to be seen whether the Spanish outfit can negotiate a reasonable fee for the player.
As for Manchester United, it would be wise of them to accept a loss on the player and move on. The Red Devils need to bring in a quality attacker at the end of the season, and they could use the proceeds from Antony’s departure to improve the squad.
