• Manchester United requires a minimum fee of £32.85 million for Antony to comply with Premier League Profit and Sustainability rules.
• Real Betis president Angel Haro has stressed that the club’s wage limits mean Antony must take a significant pay cut to complete a move.
• Despite imaginative deal structures proposed by Betis, negotiations have stalled over how to split the transfer fee and adjust salary commitments.
• With two years remaining on his United contract, Antony is also attracting interest from several other clubs if Betis fails to meet United’s valuation.
