Manchester United and Real Betis have reached an agreement for the permanent transfer of winger Antony, with details now confirmed by reporting. Betis had publicly withdrawn from negotiations last week, citing issues over the salary still owed to Antony from his contract at Old Trafford, but channels between the clubs remained open as both sides sought a resolution.<\/p>\n
The Athletic have now confirmed United and Betis have agreed on a deal to take Antony back to La Liga on a permanent basis. Fabrizio Romano states Betis will pay an initial \u20ac22 million (\u00a319.1 million, $25.7 million), with a further \u20ac3 million in add-ons, while United will also be due 50% of the profits of any future sale of the Brazil international. Crucially, United will make no payments to Antony in order to complete the transfer.<\/p>\n
The move closes a lengthy process around one of the players who had been excluded from the first-team picture. Work to sell the five players frozen out by manager Ruben Amorim\u2014Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Tyrell Malacia\u2014has been slow this summer. Rashford was allowed to join Barcelona on loan early in the window, while Garnacho recently completed a \u00a340 million switch to Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Antony\u2019s transfer now appears to be wrapped up on a permanent basis, but discussions remain active elsewhere. Talks over both Sancho and Malacia are ongoing as clubs and Manchester United seek solutions in the final hours of the window. The agreement with Real Betis provides clarity on Antony\u2019s future and sets a clear financial framework for both clubs should the player move on again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
