Bayern Munich are one of the clubs reportedly showing interest in signing Manchester United winger Antony.
The Brazilian joined the Red Devils from Ajax for a fee of £86m in the summer of 2022, signed by Erik ten Hag, but he turned out to be a major flop.
Antony spent the last season on loan at Real Betis from United, and he wants to rejoin the La Liga club this summer.
Bayern Munich in the race for Antony?
Antony is one of those five players who have absolutely no future under Ruben Amorim.
Fabrizio Romano reported last week that Betis are working on a deal to sign the 25-year-old. Talks are ongoing between the two clubs to reach an agreement for the player.
Sky Sports News further add that Betis have been unable to match United’s preference, which is to sell the player on a permanent deal.
The Red Devils do not want to do another straight loan, but Betis have proposed creative loans.
Antony has attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League, while Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich have also monitored the Brazil international’s situation.
The Brazilian enjoyed an impressive loan spell at Betis in the second half of last season – he scored nine goals in 24 starts.
Bayern unlikely to move for Antony
Despite signing Luis Diaz from Liverpool, Bayern are still looking to add one more quality attacker to their ranks.
The German champions have been linked with a move for Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku, but it is not clear whether the Blues would be willing to sell the Frenchman on loan.
Bayern made a lucrative offer to sign Nick Woltemade, but Stuttgart rejected their bid.
In recent days, the Bavarian giants are looking to make progress in securing a deal for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, and they have agreed personal terms with the player.
Ideally, United want a permanent transfer for the winger, but in the absence of a genuine suitor, they may have to agree to Betis’s demands.
