Antony’s Pricetag Shocker: Pay to Say Goodbye?…
Hold on to your popcorn, folks! Manchester United might need to cough up a jaw-dropping £12 million just to bid farewell to their Brazilian superstar, Antony. Former keeper Ben Foster has kindly warned United that Antony might have some cheeky payout requests if they really want to see the back of him. While on loan in sunny Spain with Real Betis, Antony’s been showing off, scoring four goals in 11 games – a vast improvement from his one-goal wonder stint at Old Trafford.
The plot thickens as United’s grand plans to offload Antony intertwine with Betis’s desire to keep him – perhaps only on an extended holiday, er, loan. Former Red Devil Foster insists Manchester might need to pull out the cash stash, as Antony’s not keen to dance to any pay-cut tunes. With an eye-watering £200,000-a-week contract, our man Antony isn’t in a rush to accept any lesser offers. Besides, who would willingly cut their paycheck by half?
If Real Betis swoops in with an offer, Antony might cheekily suggest United pays him a little farewell gift to the tune of £12 million. United’s investment hasn’t exactly scored any goals for them, leaving them in a pickle as to how to recover their dazzling £86 million splurge!
