Overview

• Fabrizio Romano reports that Betis and Manchester United remain in active negotiations for Antony’s return.
• The key disagreement concerns deal structure, with Betis preferring a loan-based arrangement and United pushing for a permanent sale.
• United’s valuation is reported around €40–45 million, a figure Betis have struggled to meet under salary and budget limits.
• Betis are weighing structures such as a loan with an obligation to buy or a reduced upfront fee with a significant sell-on clause.
• Antony is understood to favor a Betis move, though external interest persists, including Saudi Pro League clubs and a reported offer readiness from Fenerbahce.
