Real Betis are 'pining' to sign Antony from Manchester United again but can only afford loan deal - as Brazil international's agents head to Spain for talks

<p>Diario de Sevilla (via <a href="https://sportwitness.co.uk/trio-of-representatives-making-trip-for-manchester-united-man-club-to-club-talks-also-planned/" target="_blank">Sport Witness</a>) report that the club are keen to re-sign the Brazil international <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/antony-man-utd-outcast-extraordinary-impact-real-betis-laid-bare-loan-europe/blte5ad0916b9ed405f" target="_blank">after he proved a huge hit in the second half of last season</a>. The report states Manuel Pellegrini's side want to get their business done early so the player's agents have headed to Seville to thrash out a deal.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>A major sticking point is that Betis cannot afford to sign the player permanently, with the fee described in the report as "exorbitant". They are hoping to secure a deal to sign him on loan with an option to loan him again for the 2026-27 campaign, while recruiting a percentage of his rights, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/juventus-plotting-surprise-antony-swoop-man-utd-not-planning-give-gbp85m-flop-second-chance-after-real-betis-loan/blt8ac2a41159b35438#csdd25530ae5474e68" target="_blank">could face competition from Juventus</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Antony is away on international duty with Brazil, so his brother, agent and lawyers for his agent have headed out for the talks. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/antony-major-hint-man-utd-future-ahead-return-old-trafford-explains-why-real-betis-fell-chelsea-conference-league-final/blt7c376dd4c26ccd48" target="_blank">There is a desire among all parties to strike an agreement</a> after the winger scored nine goals and assisted five in 26 appearances for the club.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>In the meantime, Antony will be hoping to feature as Brazil take on Ecuador and Paraguay in World Cup qualifiers this week. </p>
