Antony completed a permanent transfer from Manchester United to Real Betis for a reported €22 million plus €3 million in potential bonuses, with United to receive 50% of any future sale. The move followed a loan spell at Betis in which Antony scored nine goals in 26 games and helped the club reach the UEFA Conference League final. Antony returned to United but was excluded from the preseason tour and trained separately at Carrington. The transfer briefly stalled before being agreed shortly before the window closed. Antony described the period as emotionally difficult, spent time living in a hotel, and expressed gratitude and excitement to rejoin Betis.
Only my family knows how hard it was to be there,
Training separately. But I knew this incredible moment was coming. Of course, I was afraid it wouldn't happen in the end, but I waited because I had so much faith.
[Making the transfer happen] was very hard, but we're here now. I can't wait to wear the Betis shirt again. I can only thank everyone who made it possible,
I'm finally here. I spent more than 40 days in a hotel; it was very hard, but everyone knew I wanted to return to Betis. Now with more time, there are so many things to do and achieve.
