New suitor for Man United flop as Italian side battle for Antony signing

Antony moved to Man United for a massive fee worth 70 million Euros, but failed to live up to the expectations.

The winger was then loaned out to Spanish side Real Betis, where he regained his form and led them to the UEFA Conference League final.

Manchester United are keen to sell the Brazilian, despite having a strong performance for Betis in recent months.

Despite Antony's impressive half-season at Betis attracting considerable interest, the clubs showing interest are unlikely to afford his transfer fee and wages.

According to Sportal, Como has made a late attempt to sign Antony. However, the 25-year-old prefers to stay at Betis.

The Spanish club can't afford to buy him, and Man United would rather sell. If no club meets their asking price, the Red Devils are willing to loan him out again, but they want the next club to cover a larger portion of his £105,000 weekly wage. Betis has been paying roughly half.
