Real Betis sporting director Manu Fajardo has suggested a permanent transfer for Manchester United winger hinges on Champions League qualification.
Antony joined the LaLiga outfit on loan during the January transfer window and made a great start to life in Spain by scoring three goals in his first four games across all competitions.
So much so that the Brazilian revealed that he was happy again after being allowed to depart Old Trafford following a largely disappointing spell since his £85million transfer from Ajax in the summer of 2022.
A future in Manchester looks unlikely for Antony amid reports United ready to offload the winger among other first-team players in their attempts to raise funds this summer to complete an overhaul of Ruben Amorim’s squad.
Fortunately for Man Utd, there appears to be a suitor for the 25-year-old as Real Betis have reportedly opened talks regarding a loan extension.
However, when speaking to Spanish publication Marca, Fajardo outlined the conditions for a permanent deal.
