From zero to heroes, there can only be one step and Antony (23) seems to have crossed him when leaving Manchester United for Real Bétis Balompié. A loan that goes perfectly well for the Brazilian winger who shines brightly with the Verdiblancos. While his team is sixth in Liga, Antony is clearly there. The native of São Paulo already has 12 appearances with the Andalusian team for 4 goals and 4 offerings since his arrival this winter. A major impact for Antony, which was still performing against Seville FC during the derby won this Sunday (2-1).
After meeting at the microphone of DaznAntony expressed his happiness to put on the jersey of Real Betis Balompé: “I feel happier and more satisfied since I found myself, and I found myself here. I am very grateful for everyone's affection, players … I am very happy here, I focus on Betis, I take advantage of the city, the club and everything on a daily basis, and I am very happy. The last time I experienced this, it was in Brazil, when I played for Sao Paulo. I was talking to my family yesterday and today, and I was in my room, and the supporters were incredible at the hotel, in training, and everything, and that makes us want to play even more.»»
A difficult transfer to make
However, it will be difficult for the Balompié Real Betis to align with the requirements of Manchester United. If on the payroll a compromise can be found since the Verdiblancos pay 84% of his salary, it seems difficult to see the Real Betis Balompé crack his portfolio when the biggest transfer in the history of the club dates from 1998 with the arrival of Denilson against 22 million euros. Antony cost him 95 million euros when he left Ajax Amsterdam for Manchester United. The price of 50 million euros for a sale this summer has been mentioned and it will not be easy to line up for the Sevillans. In addition, the Verdiblancos financial situation remains quite complicated in the last seasons since the club has not done too many follies on the transfer window.
Team star, Isco, however, spoke about Dazn To humorously call on Antony's continuity with Real Betis: “We have to make one of these crowdfunding campaigns to see if we can bring it back to at least another year. I am happy to have Antony among us. He surprised us all by his humility and his desire to help. We have noticed a change since his arrival, and I am happy for him and for the team.If the amount required by Manchester United for a sale looks like a sweet dream for the Balompé Real Betis, the formula of a new paying loan returns to the last few weeks as reported AS. In addition, Real Betis Balompé is sixth on equal points with Villareal (5th) while 5th place could be qualifying in the Champions League for La Liga. A perspective that could offer more financial means so that Betis tries to keep the Brazilian. It remains to be seen whether Antony's will to flourish in Andalusia will push the Red Devils to consider this option.
