Real Betis are ready to open fresh talks with Manchester United for winger Antony as they are willing to propose a new idea during discussions.

According to Marca, Real Betis are not giving up on keeping Antony beyond the end of his loan contract, as they are ready to open fresh talks with Manchester City. The Spanish side are willing to offer a fresh idea of buying a percentage of the player’s rights from the Red Devils, as the Premier League side are eager to sell him outright.

Antony made a big impact at Real Betis ever since he escaped his Old Trafford hell and signed for the Spanish side on loan until the summer. The Brazilian was instrumental in their qualification for next season’s Europa League as well as reaching the Conference League Final, where they lost out to eventual champions Chelsea.

Overall, he’s had 15 goals and assists across his two clubs this term. Antony will return to Manchester United when his contract with Real Betis ends on June 30, as the Red Devils are looking to sell him in the summer alongside some other names.  The club are eager to recoup a significant portion of the hefty fee they paid to Ajax when signing him, as Real Betis had hoped to re-sign him on another loan move for next season.

Manchester United’s potential asking price could make it difficult for Real Betis to re-sign Antony. The winger has not expressed his intention over the future, as there might be a chance that he might prefer to join the Spanish side once more.

There’s further emphasis on Antony’s decision, as he will want regular game time next season as he only recently returned to the Brazilian setup under new boss Carlo Ancelotti. He could theoretically achieve that at Betis, as the Spanish side are now preparing for fresh talks with Manchester United, as they are ready to present a new idea to give themselves a chance.

Real Betis set to hold talks with Manchester United

Antony’s performances in La Liga have attracted the interest of many other clubs who are now willing to take their chances with the resurgent 15 G/A Manchester United ace, as Real Betis are readying a new plan. With the idea of paying a big fee out of the question for the Spanish side, they are now eager to hold talks with the Red Devils with a new idea.

Real Betis want to buy a percentage of Antony’s rights, which will enable them to keep hold of the winger and strike an agreement to share the proceeds when he’s sold. Whether that sits well with Manchester United remains to be seen, although that could be a solution worth considering if the Red Devils cannot find a permanent solution for the winger at their desired price.
