Antony takes a deep pay cut to leave MU

Antony is willing to make huge financial sacrifices to facilitate a move to Real Betis to be completed in this summer transfer window.

Antony's financial sacrifice opens up opportunities for Betis.

El Pais revealed that Antony is determined to leave Old Trafford this summer, willing to accept a 30% pay cut to make it easier for Real Betis to negotiate with Manchester United. Currently, Antony receives £150,000 a week at Manchester United, but he has agreed to reduce it to around £95,000 a week.

This decision greatly affects the Brazilian striker's income, but can help him continue to develop his career in La Liga. The Brazilian striker himself also wants to stick with Betis after a very successful half of the 2024/25 season.

Since moving to Spain in the 2024/25 mid-season transfer window, Antony has regained his form, contributing 14 goals in 26 games, helping the Spanish team reach the Conference League final.

Betis want to buy Antony outright but are facing financial difficulties as MU are demanding a £35m buyout fee. However, Antony's wage sacrifice could change the situation. The La Liga club could save around £4-5m on Antony's wages, thereby focusing on paying the transfer fee to Manchester United.

Betis are confident of completing the Antony deal early this month. MU had previously proposed the possibility of sharing ownership of the player with Real Betis, allowing the La Liga side to pay only around £10-15m.

Instead of buying outright, Real Betis could buy part of Antony's ownership, with a commitment to continue paying for more player shares in the following seasons. If they want to own Antony outright, Betis could pay an additional £20m in the next transfer window in the summer of 2026. This option is welcomed by Betis, as it would help them avoid La Liga's Financial Fair Play rules, and the total amount the club would have to pay to own Antony would only be £35m.
