Manchester United is determined to get rid of the burden, meet the poor La Liga

Recently, according to the Spanish media Betis reporter Jonathan Moreno, Manchester United has reduced Anthony's price to 35 million euros. When Manchester United bought it from Ajax, they spent 95 million euros. Now, they are going to sell Anthony by 60 million euros. This shows how much Manchester United wants to get rid of this big burden.

When Anthony first transferred to Manchester United from Ajax in 2022, he was once highly expected by Manchester United because of his high value. However, three years have passed, and the Brazilian international has become a big squatter in the eyes of fans because of his poor performance. He was put on the cleaning list by Manchester United again and again, but he couldn't sell it again and again, becoming a burden that he couldn't even get rid of.

In January this year, Anthony joined Real Betis on loan. In La Liga, his performance has improved a certain level compared to his time at Manchester United, and has gradually won the love of Betis fans. Therefore, Betis hopes to keep him in the team and even has the intention to complete a permanent transfer.

But the problem facing Betis is very difficult, that is Anthony's high salary. Betis chairman Angel Harrow has made it clear that the club cannot afford the players' salaries to comply with the financial fair competition rules imposed by La Liga. This means that even if Manchester United reduces the transfer fee to 35 million euros, Betis will not sign Anthony's high salary.

However, Betis will not give up on Anthony easily, and they hope to seek more creative ways to complete the deal. Betis reportedly plans to acquire 70% of Anthony's ownership for 20 million euros, while Manchester United retains 30% of its future transfer income. This trading method can not only relieve the pressure on transfer fees to a certain extent, but also allow Manchester United to gain profits in possible future transfers. It seems to be a win-win solution. But in fact, whether the plan can be implemented still needs to be considered.

First of all, it is still unknown whether Manchester United will accept this offer. Although Anthony is in an awkward situation at Manchester United and has been excluded from the preseason roster, it shows that Manchester United is eager to leave the team. But for Manchester United, whether selling 70% of the ownership for 20 million euros is in the interests of the club, it still needs to be carefully weighed by the management. Secondly, even if Manchester United agrees to this transfer fee plan, Betis still needs to negotiate with Anthony himself on salary cuts. Anthony's current salary level is relatively high. If he does not lower his salary, Betis will definitely not sign him. If Anthony wants to switch to Betis, he must cut his salary.

From Anthony's own perspective, he obviously prefers to stay in Betis. Last season, he gradually found the feeling of the game at Betis, contributing 9 goals and 5 assists in 26 games, sweeping away the sluggishness at Manchester United. Having integrated into Betis, Anthony naturally did not want to leave easily.

At present, the transfer is still pending. Manchester United is waiting for Betis' official offer, and Betis is working hard to find a solution to the salary problem. Can Manchester United get rid of this burden this summer? Let's wait and see.
