Overview
- Betis issued a statement saying there is no agreement for Antony and that the club has pulled its proposal because it cannot cover the transfer fee or the player’s salary.
- Multiple outlets had reported Manchester United were ready to accept a package just over €25 million with a sell‑on clause, though talks over terms continued.
- Fabrizio Romano said there was no medical or travel planned for Antony, with negotiations focused on items such as a significant sell‑on, salary, and exit conditions.
- Reporting cited by SPORT1 and talkSPORT indicates Betis is hoping for a wage reduction from Antony or financial help from United, with Spanish reports adding outstanding United wage obligations as a hurdle.
- Antony impressed on loan at Betis last season with nine goals and five assists in 26 matches, and separate reports have loosely linked him to Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.
