Overview

• Antony confirmed he held talks with Bayern on the eve of his deadline‑day move and said he chose Betis out of respect for his commitment to the club.
• Betis completed the permanent signing from Manchester United with reports citing an approximate €22 million fee and a contract running to 2030.
• Some outlets report a different package of around €25 million and claim United retained a 50% sell‑on clause, highlighting unresolved details.
• Bayern’s late approach came as its pursuit of Nicolas Jackson was uncertain, and reporting does not clarify whether their proposal was a loan or a permanent deal.
• After a disappointing spell at United following a €95 million move from Ajax, Antony revived his form on loan at Betis with nine goals in 26 games and was visibly emotional at his presentation, saying he had spent over 40 days in a hotel.
