Manchester United have accepted a £25m bid from Real Betis for winger Antony, with a 50% sell-on clause included in the deal. The Brazil international has been given permission to travel to Seville for a medical, but the transfer is not yet finalized as Antony and Real Betis still need to agree on personal terms.
The 25-year-old winger had an impressive loan spell at Real Betis in the second half of last season, scoring nine goals in 24 starts. If the transfer is completed, it would mark the end of a three-year stint at Manchester United, where Antony failed to justify his £86m price tag, scoring just 12 goals in 96 appearances across all competitions.
United had made it clear that they did not want to entertain another loan deal for Antony, who has also attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, and Bayern Munich. However, Antony expressed his desire to return to Real Betis, and the Spanish club has moved to secure his services.
In a separate transfer development, Napoli have agreed a deal with Manchester United to sign Rasmus Hojlund on loan with a conditional obligation to buy. The total package is worth more than £43m, but United are waiting for the striker to finalize personal terms.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have agreed a £40m deal to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United, with a 10% sell-on fee included. The transfer represents the fourth-largest sale in United's history, and the club's largest-ever sale of an academy graduate.
