Former Chelsea, Arsenal star pushing to rescue Antony from Man Utd hell

Serie A newcomers Como have emerged as the latest club offering Manchester United’s Antony a way out, according to reports.

The Brazilian winger, who revitalized his career during a successful six-month loan at Real Betis last season, is a target for the Spanish side, who are eager to retain him but have yet to agree terms with United.

With talks between United and Betis stalling, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Como have contacted Antony to express their interest.

Led by former Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona star Cesc Fàbregas, Como secured promotion to Serie A for the 2024–25 season and, after a solid 10th-place finish, are backed by wealthy owners with ambitious transfer plans.

Antony is among their top targets, though the 25-year-old currently prefers a return to Betis. The challenge for Antony lies in Betis’ inability to meet United’s demands.

The Red Devils are pushing for a permanent sale, reportedly valuing Antony at £30 million, a figure Betis consider too high, preferring instead to negotiate another loan deal.

Antony has two years left on his contract, and the Red Devils are in a position to wait for the best offer.

While Antony favors Betis, Como are reportedly ready to wait until later in the transfer window to push through a deal for their top attacking target.
