Find out how much São Paulo will pocket from Antony’s move to Betis, Spain | OneFootball

São Paulo will benefit from the transfer, this time permanently, of Antony to Betis, Spain. The player was finally sold by Manchester United after a long saga in this transfer window, signing a contract until June 2030.

As the club that developed Antony, São Paulo is entitled to a percentage of the sale value, as stipulated in FIFA's solidarity mechanism, specifically 3.5% of the 25 million euros (R$ 159.4 million).

Thus, the Tricolor is expected to pocket around 875 thousand euros, which is equivalent to R$ 5.5 million.

The amount is not high by current football standards, but for a club facing financial difficulties, it will be very useful to help with cash flow.

Antony was one of the highlights for Betis, which reached the Conference League final last season. The player, on loan from Manchester United after failing to perform at the English club, scored nine goals and provided six assists in 26 matches for the Seville team.

Precisely because he rediscovered his best football, Antony always expressed his desire to stay at the club, but Manchester United played hardball in negotiations, waiting until the final moments of the transfer window to close the deal.

It's worth noting that São Paulo has already profited from Antony's market moves. Adding the sale to Ajax, Netherlands, and later the transfer to Manchester United, England, the Tricolor pocketed more than R$ 191 million.
