Antony's tumultuous time at Manchester United is nearing an end, as renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed an impending deal that will allow the Brazilian international to depart Old Trafford. The winger, who made headlines with his €95 million transfer from Ajax in the summer of 2022, has struggled to find his footing within the squad and has become a recurrent disappointment in the Premier League.

Under the management of Ruben Amorim, Antony’s situation has not improved, and the club is reportedly eager to sever ties with him. This move is set to materialize after the involvement of Arsenal legend Cesc Fabregas, who is reportedly facilitating his transfer. Interestingly, while his connection with Fabregas is stirring interest, Antony will not be heading to the Gunners but is instead lined up for a loan move to Real Betis.

However, the La Liga club must first sell Assane Diao to clear the path for Antony’s arrival. Romano reveals that negotiations are well underway, stating, “Como are closing in on a deal to sign Assane Diao from Real Betis!” Details of the transfer package, reportedly worth over €11 million, are being finalized, with Fabregas playing a pivotal role in the talks.

As Antony prepares for his exit, fans are curious about other potential departures from Manchester United this January. Alongside Antony, the club is also looking to offload Marcus Rashford, although his next destination remains uncertain. Rashford has expressed his willingness to embrace a new challenge after finding himself sidelined by Amorim.

In addition to this, United is considering the immediate sale of several key players, including Victor Lindelof, Casemiro, and Christian Eriksen, as the club embarks on a significant squad overhaul. Will this be a new dawn for Manchester United, or are more challenges on the horizon? The next month promises to be critical as the transfer window opens. Stay tuned!
