Betis have turned down a €50 million bid for Antony and are unwilling to sell one of their standout players. This decision means Manchester United will miss out on approximately €18 million if the deal had gone through.
As part of the deal, United retained a percentage of the fee from any future transfer of the Brazilian, meaning the €50 million offer would have netted them an additional €18 million.
However, Betis are not keen on losing Antony. Since arriving in Spain, the winger has rekindled his form and emerged as a pivotal figure for the team, earning the adoration of local fans.
Details surrounding which club made the approach remain unclear, but it’s possible the interested party may return with an improved offer before the transfer window shuts.
