The offer is withdrawn! Manchester United is tricked and sold by Anthony failed. Mr. Billion is both right and right, and Sancho is right

In the early morning of August 30, Real Betis officially announced that it would withdraw its offer against Manchester United winger Anthony. The La Liga club wrote in a statement: "At present, we have not reached any agreement with Manchester United. We have withdrawn our transfer offer for Anthony because Real Betis cannot bear the transfer fee and the relevant amount that Manchester United must pay to the players before the transfer."

Before this, the authoritative European football media The Athletic had posted a statement confirming that Manchester United and Betis had reached an agreement on Anthony's permanent transfer, with the transfer fee of 25 million euros fixed plus a floating bonus of 3 million euros. Manchester United also added a 50% second transfer share in the contract. This is consistent with the additional terms of Greenwood’s transfer to Marseille last summer. However, just when Manchester United thought they were about to get rid of this financial burden, an accident happened.

When joining in the summer of 2022, Anthony, who is worth 95 million euros, signed a five-year contract. Although his salary cuts according to the agreement due to not qualifying for the Champions League, his annual salary in the next two years will still reach £6 million. If you join Betis, Anthony must accept a salary cut. He hopes that the two clubs can negotiate and find a way to make up for his loss of 4 million euros in revenue.

However, the quotation of 28 million euros is already the limit of Betis. They will definitely not be able to pay another 4 million euros, and believe that Manchester United should negotiate with Anthony before the transaction can continue. Manchester United sells Anthony just to reduce the financial burden, and they don’t want to pay the money. With neither Anthony nor Manchester United willing to give in, Betis finally decided to withdraw his offer. This transaction, which was originally on the string, was completely declared a miscarriage.

This result undoubtedly made Manchester United, a Premier League giant, look down upon him. They spent a full 95 million euros on Anthony, only earning 96 games of 12 goals and 5 assists. It was not until last season when they joined Betis on loan on the winter window that Anthony's form improved significantly. This also made him deeply in love with Betis, believing that the latter was his best platform. So this summer, Anthony refused multiple offers and was determined to join Betis. According to previous news, the Brazilian winger is even willing to accept a 30% salary cut. Not to mention the rest, this professional attitude is still awe-inspiring.

For Manchester United, although they hope to sell Anthony at a satisfactory price, they also respected the players' ideas to the greatest extent and began to negotiate with Betis, and Anthony even teamed up with Betis to lower the price, hoping that Manchester United can accept a low price of 20 million euros. This approach has also aroused dissatisfaction among Manchester United fans.

However, now Betis and Manchester United have finally reached an agreement on the transfer fee, but Anthony has made a new trick, asking Manchester United to pay 4 million euros in severance. In other words, Betis can buy people at a low price, and Anthony's income will not be lost. This transfer will only achieve a world where only Manchester United is injured. The Brazilian winger's approach is enough to be on par with Sancho, who is ready to complete the last year's contract at Manchester United, get a huge salary and then leave the team freely. This makes people wonder what kind of experts are in Manchester United's uniform team and why they have signed so many weird players.
