Manchester United have been desperately trying to offload big-money signings in January to make room for Ruben Amorim, who is in dire need of help.
While Casemiro’s departure seems far-fetched, Anthony is inching closer to a loan move to Real Betis after the Spanish side beat Villarreal to sign Betis.
This will be a straight loan, and while the Red Devils won’t earn any loan fees, they will end up saving a lot of money on his salary. United have also included a secret penalty clause, which could potentially earn them a fair amount of money.
The Brazilian currently earns £200,000-a-week (according to Capology) and the La Liga side are likely to pay around half of that, rising to £2.4m during his loan period, so United will save the same amount.
Anthony’s last match in red
Onda Sello said the two clubs have exchanged documents and a deal is expected to be finalized after United’s Europa League draw against Rangers.
Amorim hopes to include the former Ajax star in his squad for Thursday’s draw matchday and is due to fly to Sevilla the day after the game, which is likely to be his “last game for United” .
“Betis have signed Anthony on loan until the end of the season without an option to buy.”The Betis club has exchanged documents with Manchester United, with the Manchester United manager looking to qualify directly for the Europa League round of 32. He wanted to rely on the Brazilian player in important matches for the Red Devils.
“Betis want Anthony to board the plane to Seville the day after the game at Old Trafford and join Pellegrini’s training as soon as possible. Pellegrini will provide the list of players called up to the squad on Friday. It will be announced, but coach Pellegrini has a huge burden on him for this game.”It’s an injury for Mallorca. ”
Transferred to Real Betis after Rangers draw
This could mean the 24-year-old could start against the Scottish giants, as United don’t have many options at wing-back at the moment.
The 20-time English league champion will be hoping Anthony enjoys a fantastic loan spell at Real Real and maximizes his market value in the process.
United could then sell him for a higher sum in the summer. According to Transfermarkt, the winger’s current market value is just 20 million euros.
The Old Trafford side paid a staggering £82m for Erik ten Hag’s contract in his first season, making the Brazilian one of the worst signings in the club’s recent history. It is no exaggeration to say that it is.
