Antony should have crucial discussions with Manchester United about his future, but he wants to stay at Real Betis after an impressive start of loan.

According to ABC de Sevilla, Betis and United should soon meet for crucial discussions concerning the future of Antony. The winger agents will also be present in Reunion, the three parties evoking his next transfer. Antony wishes to stay at Manuel Pellegrini, and the Betis wishes to keep it, but points remain to be settled. English giants could be reluctant to a new loan, its current contract expiring in 2027, while Betis is currently paying only fraction of its salary and may have trouble assuming the whole.

After a rather difficult period in Manchester, Antony flourished in Seville with Betis in Liga. The Brazilian scored four goals and issued two assists in 11 games for his new club and turns out to be a very promising player after his loan in January until the end of the current season. The CEO of Real Betis, Ramon Alarcon, has already revealed that Antony had told him about his wish to stay a year more.

Antony Revit to Betis

Since its beginnings with Real Betis in February, Antony has created more opportunities in the game (17) and more important opportunities (6) than any other liga player.

Antony hopes to continue on his impressive momentum with Betis until the end of the season. Pellegrini's men are currently occupying sixth place in the Spanish classification, but if they manage to qualify for the Champions League next season, this could allow them to keep Antony.
