Atletico Madrid eyes Manchester United's Antony as Real Betis struggles with fee

Atletico Madrid pursues Manchester United winger Antony as the Brazilian approaches his departure from Old Trafford this summer. The Red Devils have set a £30 million price tag for Antony, aged 25, who impressed during his loan spell at Real Betis with nine goals and five assists in half a season. Real Betis desires a permanent deal but lacks the financial resources to match United's asking price. Antony's Manchester United career spans 96 appearances since his 2022 arrival, producing 12 goals and five assists across all competitions. His current contract extends through 2027, yet Football Spain reports suggest an exit appears imminent.
