Antony is reportedly open to completing a winter loan move to La Liga club Antony amid his struggles at Manchester United.
According to a report by Brazilian outlet UOL, Antony faces an uncertain future at Manchester United midway through the winter transfer window. Real Betis and Olympiacos are keen on signing the Brazilian international on a loan move until the end of the 2024/25 season. The struggling attacker does not want to join Olympiacos but is open to sealing a loan move to La Liga.
Antony and his Manchester United muddle
Antony has been the latest big-money flop for Manchester United, struggling to make his mark despite a solid debut with the Premier League club. The South American winger has fallen in the pecking order since the start of the 2023/24 season, and he has become a peripheral figure under Ruben Amorim.
The 24-year-old attacker has not even managed 500 minutes of game time in 12 appearances across all competitions while chipping in with one goal. However, the player’s stock in the market remains high, although high-profile clubs are not keen on securing his services in the winter transfer window.
Recent reports have claimed that Ruben Amorim has approved a loan exit for the Brazilian winger in the winter transfer window. Olympiacos and Real Betis are vying for the former Ajax attacker’s signature, with the two clubs ready to seal an agreement with Manchester United over a temporary deal.
What next?
Real Betis’s interest in Antony is understandable. The Andalusian outfit will aim to reinforce the offensive unit in the winter transfer window as they look to rise in the league standings after an unconvincing first half of the 2024/25 season.
As for Olympiacos, the Greek Super League table-toppers are eager to extend their lead atop the standings in the second half of the 2024/25 season. However, the Brazilian international does not want to join the Thrylos in the winter transfer window. Instead, he is open to moving to La Liga this month.
The latest development has boosted Real Betis’s prospects of securing Antony’s services in the winter transfer window. It will be interesting to see if the 24-year-old winger will seal a loan move to La Liga by joining the Verdiblancos in the coming days.
