Antony has chosen heart over money. The Brazilian winger rejected multiple offers and even risked spending a year in the stands just to rejoin Real Betis, the club where he became a fan favorite. His time at Manchester United turned into a nightmare, often ridiculed and far from expectations, but at Betis, it was love at first sight. In Seville, he became an idol and a symbol of hope. What seemed almost impossible has finally happened: Manchester United closes a chapter to forget, and Betis recovers the star who lit up its recent history. This transfer is more than a football move it’s a moral boost, a reminder that identity and belonging matter. With Antony back, La Liga regains a player who always smiled brighter in green and white.
