Real Betis forward Antony could have multiple transfer options this summer.
While Betis are pushing to make his loan move permanent, finances might be a significant hurdle.
The Brazil international has been in fine form since his January move from Manchester United.
In just 12 appearances, Antony has racked up four goals and four assists, impressing fans and teammates alike.
The most recent of his standout performances came in last weekend’s El Gran Derbi, a 3-0 win that kept Betis level with Villarreal in the race for the final Champions League spot.
Betis are battling for European qualification, which could play a crucial role in securing Antony’s future at the club.
Isco, one of Antony’s teammates, even urged fans to launch a crowdfunding campaign to keep the star forward in Seville.
However, financial constraints could complicate things, as Real Betis is unlikely to meet Manchester United’s £30m asking price.
According to Fichajes.net, despite his solid performances, Antony’s return to Manchester United is still expected in June.
United fans are split on the idea of bringing Antony back, as he had admitted a temporary break was the best move for all parties involved.
But the 25-year-old might not be heading back to Old Trafford.
Instead, reports suggest a Premier League return could be on the cards—but not with United.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is said to be eyeing Antony as part of a summer attacking revamp at the Emirates Stadium.
The Spanish manager is looking at multiple options, and Antony could be a cheaper alternative to Nico Williams of Athletic Club, should Arteta miss out on the Basque winger.
