AI summary
Antony's market value has plummeted to less than half the record Eredivisie transfer fee Manchester United paid for him four years ago. TransferMarkt now rates the winger at £34m, a stark decline from the £85.5m spent to bring him from Ajax under Erik ten Hag.
After a difficult spell at Old Trafford—where he managed 12 goals and five assists in 96 games—Antony was loaned to Real Betis mid-season in 2024/25 before joining permanently for £19m plus £2.6m in add-ons. He flourished in Spain, scoring 14 goals in 46 games last season to help Betis reach the Champions League for the first time in 21 years. In interviews, he described his United experience as painful but necessary for his growth.
