The reason Antony cannot leave MU

Betis president Angel Haro and sporting director Manu Fajardo admitted that recruiting Antony was complicated and would take time.

Antony has not been able to join Betis.

Mr. Fajardo emphasized that signing Antony was not just a transfer deal, but also a difficult financial problem.

Betis' sporting director analyzed: "We all have to realize that this is a very complicated deal. With what Antony has shown at Real Betis, it is not easy to complete this negotiation. Despite the difficulties, we will try to find different solutions without harming the stability of the club."

Antony had an impressive half-season at Betis, scoring nine goals and providing five assists in 26 games as the club reached their first ever Conference League final. Antony's influence was recognised by club officials and fans.

President Haro also said: "We need to maintain the same financial rigor as before. Sustainability in sporting activities is very important for the club. Betis will not act crazy. We will have the same spending level as last year, maybe a little higher, and we can still make some big deals. However, Betis knows how to sell players at good prices and spend reasonably."

Antony is said to be willing to take a 30% pay cut to make the deal happen. However, MU is demanding 50 million euros to let the Brazilian striker leave. This figure is a big barrier for a team with limited financial resources like Betis.

Last week, Antony also turned down a move to Serie A after accepting an offer from Como. He is still waiting for a move from Betis.

Antony shines on the day Man Utd is defeated. Early morning on February 17, Antony scored a beautiful goal in Betis' 3-0 win over Sociedad, in round 24 of La Liga.
