Antony's financial sacrifice opened up an opportunity for Betis. |
El Pais reveals that Antony is determined to leave Old Trafford this summer, willing to accept a 30% pay cut to facilitate negotiations between Real Betis and Manchester United. Currently, Antony earns £150,000 per week at Manchester United, but he has agreed to reduce it to around £95,000 per week.
This decision will significantly impact the Brazilian striker's income, but it could help him continue to develop his career in La Liga. The Brazilian forward himself also wants to stay with Betis after a very successful first half of the 2024/25 season.
Since moving to Spain during the 2024/25 mid-season transfer window, Antony has regained his form, contributing to 14 goals in 26 matches and helping the Spanish team reach the Conference League final.
Betis wants to sign Antony permanently but faces financial difficulties as Manchester United is demanding a £35 million release clause. However, Antony's willingness to sacrifice his salary could change the situation. The La Liga club could save around £4-5 million in wages, freeing up funds to pay Manchester United's transfer fee.
Betis are confident of completing the Antony deal this month. Manchester United had previously proposed a player ownership-sharing arrangement with Real Betis, allowing the La Liga club to pay only around £10-15 million.
Instead of buying Antony outright, Real Betis could purchase partial ownership, with a commitment to continue paying for additional shares in the player in subsequent seasons. If they want to fully own Antony, Betis could pay an additional £20 million in the next transfer window in summer 2026. This option is favored by Betis because it helps them avoid La Liga's Financial Fair Play regulations, and the total amount the club would have to pay to acquire Antony would only be £35 million.
