Antony’s Exciting Move to Real Betis…
Antony swooped into Seville like a football superhero with his sidekick agent, Junior Pedroso, in a private jet on deadline day. As he arrived at the airport, hundreds of Betis fans greeted him with as much excitement as if they were seeing Bigfoot riding a unicorn. Antony, leaning out the car window, waved to his new legion of supporters while Real Betis proclaimed ‘#TheGOATIsBack’ on social media. Manchester United accepted a fixed fee of €22m, with a possible €3m in add-ons, and cleverly included a 50% sell-on clause to ensure they didn’t leave all the cookies in one jar should Antony move again.
After his heroic deeds in green and white, scoring 9 goals and 6 assists in just 26 games, Antony signed a contract with Real Betis until 2030. With his magical performances helping Betis reach a coveted UEFA Conference League final, he’s ready to enchant fans in Europe once more. Speaking of his time at Man United, Antony expressed that he felt like a cactus in a rainforest, needing to find his happy place. His previous life in São Paulo, Ajax, and Manchester carved his path to Betis, carrying not just a football legacy but a heart ready to rediscover joy on the pitch.
