Atletico Madrid has made an investigation into a potential decision for Antony with the Manchester United winger currently impressive in Liga on loan to Real Betis, according to a report.
Antony, 25, ended, if only temporarily at his miserable era in Manchester who saw the theater of dreams turn into a relentless nightmare for the player after his move of 81 million pounds from Ajax in 2022.

The Brazilian winger had fallen into the hierarchical order under Ruben Amorim with the united head coach, neither trusting him in one of the wing roles, nor as a number ten in his 3-4-2-1 system, and the club was open to it.
Real Betis quickly appeared as a favorite to sign Antony with general acceptance among the executive power of Old Trafford according to which a loan decision was the only viable outing in the January transfer window.
There were offers, moreover, through Europe, notably Greece and Turkey, but Antony wanted to stay in one of the “big leagues” on the continent and the real Betis offered the prospect of European football in the form of the conference league.
And that has proven a clever decision – the type that the 25 -year -old has not been able to produce on the field in England – with Antony marking six goals and providing four assists in 19 games for his adopted team.

The Brazilian scored a superb long -term effort last night during the victory of the conference league over the Fiorentina – putting the ball after the former teammate David de Gea in the process – to give Verdiblancos An advantage of 2-1 before the return match next week.
If the real Betis was to progress to the final of the competition, they are very likely to meet Chelsea after the London club put the Swedish team Djurgårdens to the sword 4-1 at the first stage on the other side of the draw – with Jadon Sancho marking once for the Blues in the categorical victory.
This would set up a “ bizarre lobes battle, while Antony would face Sancho, the two 25 -year -old magnets who spent this season far from Old Trafford on loan.
True Betis is extremely eager to keep Antony in Spain beyond summer, the liga actively working to accept a new agreement, whether it is a transfer or another loan.

United is just as eager to sell Antony but must receive fees of at least 32.4 million pounds sterling to avoid a negative FFP stroke of its sale, and prefer a permanent outing to a loan.
It is unlikely that Real Betis’ budget is extending so far, however, despite the club and the player expressing happiness with their new arrangement found so far.
But, as a Spanish football outing TV beach Reveal, another option could emerge so that Antony remains in Spain this summer and beyond, with the Liga Powerhouse Atletico Madrid expressing its interest in signing the winger.
The report indicates that the team of Diego Simeone “perfected [the] Brazilian winger “as a transfer objective this summer with an investigation already filed with United -” Atletico has already asked questions about him “.

The Red Devils would ask for “40 million euros at 50 million euros” (34-42.5 million pounds sterling) – a more affordable price for the “three big” in Spain.
Antony impressed since he joined Real Betis, demonstrating a goal and aid rate that turned out to be impossible for him in the more physical League. But the tireless work rate of 25 years and the implacable pressure and counter-impression were still present, even in its darkest days of Manchester.
And it is this industry out of the ball, matching its renewed quality, which will make him such an attractive proposal for a manager as Simeone, who trains Athletes Run like dogs every week.
