Antonio (25) succeeded in Manchester United 'Taal' after a long tug-of-war.

Antony completely transferred to Real Betis in the Spanish Primera Liga on the 2nd (Korea time). He moved from Ajax to Manchester United in the Netherlands for 85.5 million pounds (about 159 billion won) in the summer of 2022 when Erik ten Haach took the helm.

But it was a bad relationship. Antony played in 25 matches in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-2023 season, scoring just four goals. The competition time was 1817 minutes.




He was aiming for a turnaround in the 2023-2024 season, but he crashed further. He was also caught up in 'domestic violence' and scored only one goal in 29 EPL matches. His playing time was 1,322 minutes.

Antony was rumored to return to Ajax last summer, but it did not become a reality. While Coach Ten Haq was replaced in October last year, he was humiliated by playing as a substitute in only eight games in the EPL due to his injuries. The playing time was 133 minutes. He was scoreless in the EPL.

Antony, who is from Brazil, was desperate for a way out. Got a new opportunity on lease, revived. Betis was 'Land of Promises'. He played in 26 matches in all tournaments, including five goals and two assists in La Liga, scoring nine goals and five assists. Antony argued that moving the nest to Betis was the best decision he ever made.




After last season, leading clubs such as Saudi Arabia and Turkiye aimed to recruit Antony. However, Antony only wanted Betis to return, and after a long fight, it finally became a reality.

Manchester United failed to recover the transfer fee in the end. Betis held Antony in his arms for a total of 25 million euros (about 40.5 billion won), including an option of 3 million euros. However, when Antony transfers, Manchester United agreed to a Celon clause that would take 50% of the profit. Antony's contract is for five years.

Antony burst into tears at Betis' joining ceremony. After returning to Manchester United temporarily after last season, he said "I was very anxious every day. I spent 40 days at the hotel, and it was really hard being in Manchester."




And "I'm sorry that I'm in tears. He was excluded from the team and trained separately. But that's part of life. I knew this moment would come. That was in the past and now I'm back home," he sobbed.

Antony was also overcome with emotion, "'I told my mother and sister when the transfer was confirmed, and they all cried with me as well.'" Antony's joining ceremony was greeted by numerous fans singing "Wow" and cheering songs.
