According to UOL Esporte, Arsenal has become a surprising competitor in the hunt to recruit Antony, a winger for Manchester United. According to reports, the Gunners have already inquired about the Brazilian’s availability before the summer transfer window opens.
Since moving to Old Trafford from Ajax in 2022 for £82 million, Antony has had a difficult time. In January, he was loaned to Real Betis after failing to produce regularly in the Premier League, and he has since started to play better.
The 25-year-old has rapidly established himself as one of the Spanish team’s top players, displaying the skill and self-assurance that once made him one of Europe’s most promising young players.
In his 19 La Liga and Conference League games with Real Betis, Antony has six goals and four assists. According to the source, Real Betis wants to extend the winger’s contract, but Atletico Madrid and now Arsenal are becoming a bigger threat.
Arsenal linked with shock approach to sign Man United transfer flop
Due to his incapacity to provide goals and assists, Antony has appeared out of depth in the Premier League. In order to get regular first-team football, he was loaned to Betis in January. The Red Devils have reaped the benefits of the choice. The Brazilian has established himself at the La Liga team and is already a fan favorite. Betis is amenable to keeping him on staff.
But in the peak of his career, the winger might want a more difficult task. The attacker may find Atletico a profitable destination because they are fierce rivals for the Spanish Premier League crown.
Arsenal desperately needs attacking additions, especially in the wide attacking areas where Mikel Arteta lacks options.
Manchester United might be hesitant to bolster a direct Premier League opponent. Even if both teams achieve their valuation, they might end up preferring to sell to Atletico Madrid over Arsenal in a bidding war.
