Man Utd 'update Antony's price' in shock twist with winger on cusp of making football history

Manchester United have updated their price tag for Antony in a shock twist ahead of the summer transfer window reopening.

Man United are looking to sell Antony this summer, having shipped him out on loan this season.

He joined Real Betis on loan until the end of the season during the January transfer window.

The Brazilian forward has shone in Spain, helping Betis reach the Europa Conference League final. He scored a terrific goal in his side's semi-final tie against Fiorentina and appeared to aim a dig at Man United in his emotional post-match interview.

With Man United also in a European final this season, Antony is on the verge of making football history.

Despite his performances for Betis, the 25-year-old's future appears to lie away from Old Trafford.

According to Football Insider, Man United are ready to sell Antony for £20-£30 million.

It is believed Man United are aware they have no chance of recouping the full £86 million they paid to sign him from Ajax in the summer of 2022.

Per the report, Atletico Madrid have expressed an interest in signing Antony as Betis plan to speak with Man United as they hope to keep the on-loan star.

Betis president Angel Haro said: "His name was put on the table by the sporting director. It was a low-priced approach because Manchester United assumed almost all the salary.

"The player wanted to come to Betis. It was a pure loan, it was very cheap for Betis and there was no option to negotiate anything.

"Keeping Antony is very, very complicated. We will have a meeting with Manchester United to extend the loan for another year, to be able to share a percentage of the player… It’s about seeing the predisposition of the player and Manchester United.

"The first filter is put by Manchester United, and then the negotiation of the player would come, but that is a long way off.

"In addition, now the player is plugged in wanting to lift a title with Betis. When the time comes and the season is over, he will be able to do his part if this option opens up."
