ANTONY TO COMO? FÀBREGAS' SIDE RIVAL REAL BETIS FOR £86M MAN UTD OUTCAST IN SHOCK TRANSFER CHASE
There's a curveball in Antony’s summer saga: Serie A outfit Como—managed by Cesc Fàbregas and home to returning star Dele Alli—is reportedly exploring a sensational swoop and may offer competition to Real Betis in the chase for the £86m Manchester United winger.
Betis Bid in Motion... But Another Door Opens
Real Betis have long shown intent to bring Antony back after his strong loan spell, reportedly pitching a co-ownership style deal worth around £17m now plus sell-on rights if he leaves again. Antony has even been seen celebrating with Betis in the FIFA video game—fueling belief he’d like to return. However, United are valuing him closer to £50m–€60m, so negotiations remain ongoing.
Enter Como: under Cesc’s ambitious project and joined by Dele Alli on an 18-month deal, the Italian side are building momentum. They’re ready to offer Antony a fresh start in Serie A, betting on their competitive platform and Fàbregas’s vision to tempt him away.
Why This Could Happen (…Or Not)
Betis advantages: Familiar environment, Champions League/Europa League football, strong fan backing.
Como pitch: Serie A spotlight, reunion with a teammate-turned-manager (Fàbregas), potential for midfield overhaul blending youth and experience, anchored by Dele Alli’s arrival.
Antony’s preference: He wants stability and growth; Betis feels safe, but Como’s ambitious rebuild could intrigue him.
United’s stance: They want to recoup significant investment. Betis’ co-ownership model is clever but undervalued; Como may offer more conventional terms.
What Happens Next?
Betis to decide whether to up their upfront fee or commit to creative structuring.
Como to formalise interest, likely offering a solid, full-transfer package and competitive wage.
Antony makes choice: returning to La Liga or joining a bold new Italian project with a familiar face.
United to decide: accept the best financial offer or loan him again.
Bottom Line
A surprise twist: a Cesc Fàbregas–led Como, now including Dele Alli, is emerging as a dark horse in the Antony transfer saga—challenging Betis in what could be a dramatic summer duel. All signs point to July being pivotal for Antony, United, and two very different clubs.
