"Antony's performance against Nottingham Forest offered another reminder of why Real Betis sporting director Manu Fajardo considers the Brazilian winger possibly "the most important signing" in the club's history. The 25-year-old has revitalised his career in Spain after a difficult period at Manchester United, where he never came close to living up to his €95 million transfer fee from Ajax in 2022."
"After initially joining Betis on loan in January, he impressed enough to earn a permanent move on deadline day this summer, with the final agreement worth up to €25m. United inserted a clause entitling them to 50% of any future sale. Antony underlined his value in Wednesday's Europa League opener, creating one goal and scoring another late on to seal a 2-2 draw against Forest."
""I am 100% sure that maybe Antony is the most important signing in Betis' history. "Everything [about the signing] because the talent, the level of the player, the level of the club as Manchester United - a big team, a big project, so I am 100% sure that Antony is the best signing in Betis' history.""
Antony revitalised his career at Real Betis after an uneven spell at Manchester United following a €95m transfer from Ajax in 2022. Betis initially secured him on loan in January and completed a permanent move on deadline day for up to €25m, with Manchester United entitled to 50% of any future sale. Antony created one goal and scored another to earn a 2-2 Europa League draw with Nottingham Forest. He has become a central figure under Manuel Pellegrini, helped Betis reach their first European final last season, and drew strong praise from sporting director Manu Fajardo.
