The Sevilla Daily reported that Anthony still only wanted to go to Betis, who left him a non-European quota, but would not break financial restrictions for him.
As early as June 10, Anthony's agent and some of his relatives had met in Seville. On July 20, Sevilla Daily once again disclosed a new round of negotiations between brokerage member Pedroso and Betis senior executives. The core information throughout the summer transfer window was always clear, that is, Anthony was eager to return to Betis and had expressed his feelings to Manchester United.
On July 23, Betis finally showed his ultimate plan, that is, to wait for Anthony to refuse all quotations until the last moment of the transfer window, when Betis will put pressure on Manchester United, trying to convince them to agree to loan Anthony again and try to attach a buyout clause. This information was reprinted and confirmed by a large number of media in Manchester. And now, new progress has been made.
The Sevilla Daily said that Anthony's team has now set a deadline and will reevaluate all options if it fails to reach an agreement with Betis before the start of the new season. He had previously rejected the invitation from Benfica and Saudi Arabia.
The agent team led by Torreli and Pedroso must convince Manchester United to loan the player to Betis again. If the negotiations fail at that time, the players will begin to seriously consider other invitations.
Anthony's first goal now is to ensure that he qualifies for next year's World Cup, and staying behind Manchester United is not considered. The Red Devils insist on asking for at least 40 million euros transfer fee. Although Betis retains a non-EU player quota for Anthony, he will never break through financial restrictions. The team led by sports director Fahardo has proved many times that whenever signings are set, there will always be an alternative at the same level, and the Anthony incident is no exception. Betis admits that he has prepared a contingency plan, but if the negotiations break down, the follow-up operation time will be extremely urgent.
It is worth noting that the Sevilla Daily confirmed that many clubs are willing to meet Manchester United's asking price (fixed + floating + total bonuses close to the requirement). Some teams offer players generous annual salary, and the annual salary before tax for some quotes even reaches 10 million to 12 million euros.
