Atletico Madrid are plotting a summer swoop for Manchester United winger Antony, with the La Liga giants reportedly ready to table a £40 million offer, according to iNews.
The Brazilian international has endured a turbulent spell at Old Trafford, falling out of favour under new manager Ruben Amorim. After struggling for form, Antony was shipped out on loan to Real Betis in January—where he has since rediscovered his spark.
With four goals and four assists in just 12 games, the 24-year-old has reignited interest from top clubs, and Atletico see him as a key attacking reinforcement. United, meanwhile, appear willing to cash in, despite signing him for a staggering £85 million just three years ago.
Initially, Antony had few serious suitors, but his resurgence at Betis could now help United negotiate a respectable fee. The Red Devils are confident of securing at least £40 million, which could be reinvested in strengthening their squad—potentially targeting a new right wing-back.
With Atletico preparing a formal bid, this summer could mark the end of Antony’s turbulent Manchester United chapter. Will he thrive under Diego Simeone’s system? Stay tuned as the transfer saga unfolds.
