Antony moved to Betis on loan last January in an attempt to regain his form, and he delivered a remarkable performance, contributing to 9 goals, scoring 5 and assisting 4 for his teammates in 17 matches, which prompted Betis to seek to secure his contract.
However, the price Manchester United is asking for the player, which is around 50 million euros, poses a barrier for Betis, leading the English club to propose an exchange idea involving young Spanish winger Rodriguez, who is 19 years old and is considered one of the rising talents in La Liga.
It is worth mentioning that Manchester United does not intend to loan Antony again and prefers to sell him permanently this summer, which enhances the likelihood of a swap deal between the two clubs in the near future.
