Betis is unable to pay 40 million! Atletico aims at Anthony, and Simeone calls for him to buy him!

The Mirror exclusively disclosed that La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid is closely following the news of Manchester United winger Anthony, and Betis is already at a disadvantage in the competition because he cannot meet the Red Devils' transfer asking price of £40 million. Atletico coach Simeone believes that introducing Anthony will help the team improve their offensive strength on the wing!

After joining Betis on loan this season, Anthony wiped out his downturn at Manchester United and showed an excellent competitive state. His flexible dribbling and sharp breakthroughs have become the key explosive point of the team's offense many times. He has frequently contributed wonderful performances in the La Liga field, winning the love and recognition of Betis fans. However, although Betis favored Anthony, he was unable to meet Manchester United's transfer price of £40 million.

As the La Liga is coming to an end, Betis has been determined to be unable to enter the Champions League next season through the league results. In this case, they hoped to continue to loan Anthony, but this request was decisively rejected by Manchester United. Manchester United has a clear attitude, either completing the transfer for £40 million, or selling Anthony to other teams after loan expiration.

Anthony regained his confidence and state at Betis and proved his strength. Atletico Madrid's attention is a recognition of his performance. The Bedding Army has always been known for its efficient tactical system and tough style of play. If Anthony can join, he may be able to further unleash his potential under Simeone's training and become an important force on the team's offensive end.

For Manchester United, Anthony's stay and leave are also crucial. If the transfer fee of 40 million pounds can be successfully earned, it will undoubtedly provide financial support for the team's summer recruitment. It is worth noting that Atletico Madrid is not the only competitor. Teams such as Saudi Riyadh victory and Türkiye's Fenerbahce also expressed their interest, but Anthony prefers to stay in the mainstream European leagues.

For Manchester United, Anthony's transfer is a "calculation question". After being introduced in 2022 with a team record of 85 million pounds, his Premier League career only handed over mediocre data of 12 goals and 9 assists, and fans jokingly called it a "million yuan parallel". Although the quotation of 40 million pounds is now more than half the loss than the purchase price, considering that the contract is only two years away, it is the optimal solution that management can strive for.
