"Bayern Munich had a tense summer transfer window. They had to face rejection from several top targets as they looked to strengthen the attack. After missing out on Florian Wirtz, Bayern huffed and puffed to get the deal for Luis Diaz over the line before the start of the season. Diaz was an expensive acquisition considering his age and contract situation at Liverpool."
"Antony was one of the players who was approached by Die Roten. The Brazilian winger left Manchester United to join Real Betis this summer. While speaking with Cope in Spain (via iMiaSanMia), Antony confirmed that Bayern had offered him a much more lucrative contract than Real Betis. The Brazilian forward had his heart set on a move to Betis, which meant Die Roten's late move couldn't turn his head. Antony completed a move to the La Liga side on deadline day."
"Bayern chiefs have not responded to comments from Antony. However, the Brazilian wouldn't have fit the criteria of a loan signing for Bayern. Manchester United were only open to a permanent transfer for Antony. The former Ajax winger had a productive loan spell at Betis during the second half of the season. The Spanish club wanted to bring him back on a permanent deal since the start of the summer window."
Bayern Munich entered the summer transfer window seeking attacking reinforcements and faced rejections from several top targets. After missing Florian Wirtz, Bayern completed a costly Luis Díaz signing but remained short after parting with three senior forwards and Paul Wanner. Bayern explored late options and approached Antony, who preferred a permanent move to Real Betis despite a reportedly more lucrative Bayern offer. Antony had promised Betis and completed the transfer on deadline day. Manchester United wanted a permanent sale, which clashed with Bayern’s loan-focused approach. Antony had impressed on loan at Betis, and Betis sought to re-sign him permanently.
