It was revealed that Atletico Madrid wants to pack Manchester United wings for 100 million! Anthony believes he's worth his money, and Garnacho spits out the price

British media said that Manchester United is expected to sell the South American wings in the team for 100 million euros - Argentine left winger Garnacho and Brazilian right winger Antony, and the potential buyer is Atletico Madrid in La Liga. If a deal does happen, Ruben Amorim will be very happy to sell two players he doesn't want to earn him transfer funds in the summer window.

According to a report from the TBR Bleachers, Antony's performances after his loan move to Real Betis in January have attracted the attention of Atletico Madrid. He was a 100 million euro parallel "compass" at Manchester United, contributing four goals and four assists for Betis, and the team has only lost two games since his transfer.

Unfortunately, those two games include a top-five tie against rivals Villarreal, meaning Betis could miss out on next season's Champions League. Then they can't afford to give Manchester United the price they want and can't buy out Antony. It is reported that Manchester United have rejected the second loan option for Antony, only accepting a permanent buyout, or a loan with a mandatory buyout clause.

Previously, Western media reported that Atletico Madrid was willing to pay a transfer fee of 45 million euros, plus a floating clause of 30 million euros, to sign Antony from Manchester United. If this is the offer, Manchester United will gladly accept it and send Antony to Madrid.

The 25-year-old Antony also did not want to return to Manchester United, having had a rough time in Manchester, not only frustrating on the pitch, but also being accused of domestic violence by two ex-girlfriends off the pitch, and has since been excluded from the Brazilian team.

"It was a difficult time. It's not just me, it's my family. It's hard for you to blame one thing, but being silent for a long time ended up hurting my personal life and also my career." "People sometimes get into crisis because of things that aren't true, and I thank God for his justice and for my family's company. It's in the past and the most important thing for me now is to stay focused and live with my family, wife and children."

When it comes to his life in Spain, Anthony is very satisfied. 'I'm glad I adapted so quickly, but I did a lot of work when I was in England. I did extra training and more importantly exercised my brain. I'm very happy to have such a positive impact at Betis and Spain, and I feel like the main factor is being ready and giving myself a new challenge." "I've found myself again, I'm not going to lie, that's important," he said. I haven't forgotten how to play and whether you like it or not, it's an important moment in my life. I was definitely affected, but I didn't forget to play, I found myself and enjoyed football."

Teammate Isco said Betis was going to crowdfund him to bring him in, and Anthony laughed: "It's a joke. Isco is a great player, a genius and for me it was a huge pleasure to play with him and I learned a lot. My goal has always been to come here and help, and I'm happy to be able to help the club. I think it's too early to talk about that, I don't know what will happen in the future. I'm happy here, yes, but let's see what happens next."

However, Antony said he has no grudge against Manchester United. "I had good times when I won two championships, and I had difficult times. But I guess, apart from football, my personal life really bothers me. The things I've been through, the moments I've lived there. Whether you like it or not, it has a big impact on me. So, of course I believe in my potential, it's not for nothing that I've played in the 2022 World Cup, it's not for nothing that I've been sold to Manchester United for a high price, I know what I'm worth. People focus only on the present moment, not on the bigger picture, and not on what's going on."

In addition to Antony, Atletico Madrid have also been rumoured to be interested in re-signing academy veteran Garnacho. Garnacho left the Sheets Army to join Manchester United in 2020 and now Diego Simeone is considering his return. The 20-year-old Argentine winger has been driving high and low this season and has recently missed a number of good chances in front of goal, which has caused his price to drop. Atletico want to sign both Garnacho and Antony and could offer a total of €100 million, with Antony worth €40 million and Garnacho €60 million, which they think is very reasonable.
