Real Betis are actively searching for a new winger, with Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze emerging as a strong option. The club had hoped to re-sign Manchester United’s Antony, who impressed during his loan spell last season. However, Manchester United’s transfer demands remain high, forcing Betis to explore other possibilities.
According to Diario AS, Betis are now closely monitoring Chukwueze, who currently plays for AC Milan. The former Villarreal winger has struggled for consistent playing time in Italy since his move in 2023. Reports suggest that AC Milan may be open to selling Chukwueze to raise funds for their summer rebuild.
Chukwueze is eager to join a club where he can play a leading role, and Betis could offer that opportunity. Head coach Manuel Pellegrini is aiming to strengthen his squad with another wide player to support Ez Abde and Jesus Rodriguez, especially as the team prepares for Europa League football next season.
A source close to the situation noted, “Samuel Chukwueze wants to feel important again and Betis can give him that.” This desire for a key role could make Betis an attractive destination for the Nigeria international.
While Betis continue discussions over Antony, they are preparing for all outcomes. Chukwueze presents a realistic alternative that aligns with the club’s transfer budget and squad needs. Whether the final choice is Antony or Chukwueze, Betis are focused on securing the right fit for their upcoming campaign.
