'I think so..' - Real Betis's CEO gives nod to Antony's permanent transfer

Manchester United forward Antony is off to a strong start at Spanish club Real Betis. Following his immediate impact, Betis CEO Ramon Alarcon has hinted at promising prospects for the Brazilian.

Antony, who joined Manchester United in the 2022-23 season for a significant fee of £86 million, has faced issues in fulfilling expectations, tallying only 12 goals in 96 appearances. However, his performance at Betis suggests that he is ready to reclaim his greatness.

Ruben Amorim's arrival at the club further reduced his appearances leading to his loan move to Real Betis during the January transfer window. 

The move has proven to be advantageous for Antony, who has already made an impact by scoring once and earning the Player of the Match award in each game of Real Betis. Although the loan does not include an option to buy, his impressive performances have generated speculation about the possibility of a permanent transfer in the summer.

Regarding the possibility of a deal, Alarcon is confident that an agreement can be reached with Manchester United if Antony maintains his exceptional form.

"I think so. The other day the CEO of United called me. We sent them all the moves and details of the player throughout the week so that they can see that we are looking after their asset. There is very good chemistry with Manchester [United] and with the player. It is a possibility that he will continue next season, why not?" said CEO.

A permanent transfer is essential for Manchester United, especially in light of their ongoing financial struggles. Although they won't come anywhere close to recouping the £86 million spent on Antony, securing a substantial fee is crucial to bolster the squad for the upcoming season.
