- أنطوني joins Betis from Man Utd
- Completed the move on deadline day
- Fans swarmed the Brazilian’s car in the city
ريال بيتيس fans gave a rousing reception to Antony in the city of Seville on Monday night, after the Brazilian completed a last-gasp move from مانشستر يونايتد on deadline day. Antony’s future remained in limbo throughout the summer, with the La Liga side unable to meet متحد‘s valuation. But the player and the fans will be absolutely ecstatic for the stint to continue.
Antony spent the latter half of the 2024-25 season on loan at the Benito Villamarin, scoring nine goals in 26 games across all competitions as Manuel Pellegrini’s men earned a runners-up medal in the دوري المؤتمرات and a sixth-place finish to qualify for this season’s الدوري الأوروبي. With Betis remaining hopeful of signing the former أياكس wonderkid, and no other teams showing serious interest, the Red Devils decided to sell Antony for a cut-price €25 million (£22m/$29m) fee. He joins Los Verdiblancos on a five-year deal, until 2030.
The left-footed winger will be keen to revive his career at Betis and earn a spot in البرازيل‘s squad for the 2026 كأس العالم. He will be expected to feature in his first game in the 2025-26 season on September 14, against newly-promoted ليفانتي.
