Reports: Manchester United and Real Betis Reach Late Agreement for Antony

The proposed €25m transfer reportedly includes a 50% sell-on clause and no United-funded severance after Betis had earlier withdrawn over affordability concerns.

Overview

  • Football España, citing David Ornstein, reports a renewed agreement for Antony to rejoin Betis for about €25m, with Manchester United retaining a 50% sell-on clause.
  • Betis publicly pulled their offer on Friday, saying they could not afford the fee or the player’s financial package, but talks continued into deadline day.
  • Earlier coverage from Sky Sports and ESPN said United accepted a bid and allowed Antony to discuss terms, while other reporters noted no final green light and unresolved salary and exit-package issues.
  • There has been no official confirmation of a completed transfer or medical, and final steps such as personal terms and formal announcements have not been confirmed.
  • Antony impressed on loan at Betis last season with nine goals and five assists, and United have been pushing for a permanent sale as part of their summer overhaul.
