La Liga side Villarreal are the latest side to show interest in Manchester United winger Antony should Alex Baena leave.
Baena is one of the most sought-after players for ‘The Yellow Submarine’, making 30 appearances in all competitions, scoring 6 goals and providing 9 assists, helping the team compete for a Champions League quota from the top 5 of La Liga Spain.
That has seen the 23-year-old linked เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง with La Liga giants Atletico Madrid, who have been monitoring the player’s development since his time at Girona.
If Villarreal were to let Baena go, they would look at Antony, who has been impressive on loan at Real Betis, scoring eight goals and providing five assists in 22 games in all competitions, and has now led the team to the Conference League final against Chelsea.
United are demanding €40m or more for the Brazilian from Betis.
However, Manuel Pellegrini’s team doesn’t have that much money, so they might adjust the terms to a lease or loan for the entire 2025-26 season, then force a purchase in the summer of 2026. The rate would probably be cheaper because the player is in the last year of his contract.
The idea did not please United, which paved the way for other clubs to make offers, leading to the emergence of Villarreal, but they had to sell Baena for at least €50m first.
In addition, in addition to Villarreal and Betis, Atletico Madrid and Juventus of Italy’s Serie A also hope to work with the Brazilian star.
