Bayern Munich have emerged as an unexpected contender for Manchester United winger Antony, who is currently showcasing his talent on loan at Real Betis. The Brazilian’s impressive displays in La Liga have drawn interest from top European clubs, with the German powerhouse now leading the pursuit.
Antony’s time at Old Trafford had been disappointing, culminating in a winter loan move after falling out of favor under new manager Ruben Amorim. Despite his hefty transfer fee from Ajax, the 24-year-old failed to start a single Premier League game this season. However, his spell at Betis has reignited his form, with the winger scoring twice in his first three matches and earning consecutive Man of the Match awards. Betis CEO Ramón Alarcón has even hinted at the club’s interest in making the move permanent.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have reportedly stepped up their efforts to sign Antony, viewing him as an ideal addition to their attack. The Bavarian side are preparing for possible departures of Leroy Sané and Kingsley Coman in the summer, making Antony’s pace and flair a valuable asset. Manchester United, having invested €95 million in the Brazilian, are now willing to part ways for around €50 million, a figure Bayern can comfortably meet.
Discussions between the clubs are said to be underway, with Antony’s continued success in Spain likely to accelerate a potential deal. The coming months could determine whether this surprise transfer becomes a reality, offering Antony a fresh start in the Bundesliga and a chance to rebuild his career at one of Europe’s elite clubs.
