You know Antony’s story, so we’ll go straight to the latest developments. In the summer, the Dutchman resisted renting out Old Trafford, in January the Brazilian has realized he has no choice. The market capitalization is now at 20 million euros – and decreasing. Playing time is needed for the 24-year-old not to stiffen completely. On Friday, an agreement is reported.
The hyperactive transfer journalist Romano reports Manchester United have agreed a lease with Real Betis, the Brazilian will get on the plane to Sevilla on Friday evening to sign a six-month contract with Los Verdiblancos.
According to Romano, there are no clauses that follow the contract. The Guardian claims the La Liga club takes a significant chunk of Antony’s £180,000-a-week wage bill, in fact as much as 84 percent of United’s costs, plus the payment of any bonuses released in Antony’s contract during his loan stay.
For coach Manuel Pellegrini a potentially important reinforcement, for Antony possible to restart his career, for Amorim one less superfluous player, for Manchester United a very important cut in the salary budget.
