Antony finds himself at the center of mounting transfer interest following his loan spell at "Real Betis" - with German champions "Bayern Munich" reportedly ready to make a substantial move for the Brazilian winger.
The 25-year-old Brazilian has barely unpacked his bags after concluding his stint with the Spanish club, yet multiple suitors are already lining up for his signature. No surprise there, considering his standout performances in the green and white colors.
"Manchester United" currently holds the cards in this situation, though they apparently don't figure the player in their immediate plans. Still, they're not about to let him go without commanding a significant fee - reportedly setting a minimum asking price of €50 million.
According to German outlet 'Sport1', "Bayern Munich" has earmarked between €50-70 million for a single player acquisition this summer, with Antony emerging as a potential target. The Bavarian giants have reportedly made initial contact with the player's representatives, though any deal appears far from imminent.
Worth noting that "Bayer Leverkusen" has also expressed interest in securing the Brazilian's services, adding another German option to his potential destinations.
For "Betis" fans, the financial realities present a significant obstacle. Despite the player's evident happiness during his time in Seville and his public declarations of affection for the club, they simply lack the financial muscle to compete with the European heavyweights circling for his signature.
An interesting side note: new "Leverkusen" coach Erik Ten Hag previously managed Antony at "Manchester United" - might that personal connection tip the scales? Only time will tell which shirt the Brazilian will be wearing when the new season kicks off.
