Antony revalues 100 million euro item

Antony is playing well for Real Betis.

Once considered one of the most expensive flops in Manchester United history, Antony has found his peak form in La Liga. The Brazilian has not only revived his career but has also become a key factor in helping Real Betis move closer to their European dream.

Journey to find yourself

When Manchester United spent 100 million euros to recruit Antony from Ajax Amsterdam in the summer of 2022, the expectations placed on the Brazilian striker were huge. However, the harsh reality came when Antony could not find a place at Old Trafford. His inconsistent form and lack of effectiveness in attack made him the focus of criticism from fans.

The turning point came in the 2024 winter transfer window when Real Betis made an offer to loan Antony. This decision provided a valuable opportunity for the 24-year-old player to be reborn in a new environment, no longer under the pressure of the "blockbuster" label.

At Betis, Antony only needed a few games to prove his worth. His impressive statistics of 5 goals and 4 assists in 17 appearances speak for themselves. Not only does he score goals, Antony's fast and creative style of play also adds a lot of value to the team's collective play.

"Antony is showing the qualities we expected when we signed him," said coach Manuel Pellegrini after the win over Girona. "He is not just a normal winger but an important cog in every attack of the team."

Antony's good form could see his transfer value skyrocket.

Antony’s latest performance at Montilivi was a clear demonstration of his resurgence, as he not only scored but also created dangerous chances, helping Real Betis beat their opponents and consolidate their sixth place in the standings with 51 points.

Antony's form in La Liga is giving Manchester United more reason to smile. The contract that was once considered "too expensive" is now regaining its value in the transfer market. According to analysts, if he maintains this momentum, Antony could become one of the most sought-after players in the summer transfer window.

"Antony has been liberated in Spain," said former striker Rivaldo. "Sometimes a player just needs the right environment to reach his full potential, and La Liga is clearly providing that for Antony."

What future for Antony?

Given his current form, the big question is: where will Antony go when his loan ends? Real Betis will of course want to keep the Brazilian star for at least another season, but that depends on Manchester United's decision.

Insider sources say the Old Trafford team is closely monitoring Antony's performance and has not ruled out the possibility of bringing him back into the first team next season. However, if they receive an attractive offer, the "Red Devils" are also willing to sell him outright to recover part of their investment.

It is unclear whether MU will keep or sell Antony in the summer of 2025.

Whatever the future holds, Antony has proven his worth and talent. From a controversial signing to a rising star in La Liga, his story is proof that football is full of surprises and that there are always second chances for those who don’t give up.

The summer of 2025 will be the decisive moment for Antony's career: return to conquer the Premier League or continue his journey in the land of bulls? The answer is still open, but what is certain is that the "100 million euro investment" is gradually proving its worth.
