ESPN: Betis is unable to bear Anthony s permanent contract, hoping to discuss loan again

August 12th, Betis sports director Fajado said that he did not give up hope of letting Anthony return, but according to sources, Betis was unable to bear the permanent contract.

Anthony's contract with Manchester United expires on June 30, 2027, and he is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer. In the second half of the 2024-25 season, Anthony was loaned to Betis, where he ushered in a career recovery.

In an interview with reporters, Betis sports director Fajado talked about Anthony, saying: "The players and the club are eager to reunite, and this hope is getting stronger over time. If Anthony arrives, it is because his strength meets Betis' expectations."

Manchester United is eager to sell Anthony, the player has not appeared in the Red Devils' American preseason tour. Several European clubs, including Benfica, Leverkusen and Leipzig, have been paying attention to Anthony's situation.

In addition, Saudi clubs have also shown interest in Anthony. In 2022, Anthony transferred from Ajax to Manchester United for £85 million. Despite his outstanding performance during his out-of-loan Betis, sources told ESPN that Betis is unable to undertake a permanent contract and hopes to have the opportunity to discuss a new loan with Manchester United.

During the loan of Betis, Anthony played in 26 games, scored 9 goals and sent 5 assists.
