Real Madrid unexpectedly targets Antony

The revival in performance of the ex-Man United player has drawn interest from the Spanish giants.

Former Manchester United winger Antony is becoming a focal point in La Liga after regaining impressive form with Real Betis. Following a difficult period in the Premier League, the Brazilian player is proving that his career is far from over and significant opportunities still lie ahead.

Joining Manchester United for a record fee of around £85 million from Ajax in 2022, Antony was once considered one of Old Trafford’s biggest transfer failures. Scoring only 5 goals and providing 3 assists in 62 Premier League appearances, the former Ajax player faced heavy criticism from experts and fans alike.

In an interview, Antony admitted that the tough experiences in England helped him mature mentally. He said that being separated for individual training under coach Ruben Amorim at Manchester United was something he had to accept, but that period helped him train hard and come back stronger.

This season, Antony is performing brilliantly at Betis with 6 goals and 3 assists in 13 matches across all competitions. This outstanding form has not only restored his confidence but also won the hearts of fans at Benito Villamarín. This convincing display has attracted Real Madrid’s interest. According to Defensa Central, Los Blancos are considering bringing Antony to Bernabeu, possibly on loan, as an option to strengthen their attack.

Antony’s strong comeback is proof of his ability to revive after a difficult spell in the Premier League. The Brazilian also revealed that Manchester United newcomer Matheus Cunha wanted him to stay so they could play together at Old Trafford, but the situation was too challenging, forcing him to leave.

Antony’s success in La Liga opens a big opportunity for him to reestablish his name on the European football map. If Real Madrid makes a move, it would be a remarkable comeback for a player once harshly criticized at Old Trafford.

With his current performances, Antony is not only regaining his reputation but also proving that past failures were stepping stones for him to advance and make an impact at higher-level competitions. La Liga fans are eagerly anticipating a spectacular debut if the deal with Real Madrid materializes.
