Despite summer snub: Antony still on Bayern’s radar | OneFootball

FC Bayern is already working on setting the course for the upcoming season. A player who continues to be in focus is Antony from Betis Sevilla, with whom the Munich club was already intensely involved in the summer.

According to the Spanish portal Fichajes, Bayern is closely monitoring the development of the Brazilian. If the winger continues his strong performances this season, the German record champion might make a new attempt in the summer of 2026.

In the second half of the last season, Manchester United loaned the 25-year-old to Real Betis – a deal that turned out to be a stroke of luck for both sides. Antony scored nine goals and provided five assists in 26 appearances. Performances that convinced the Andalusians: On Deadline Day, Betis permanently signed the offensive player for 22 million euros.

Antony signed a contract in Seville until 2030. According to Spanish media, it includes a release clause between 50 and 60 million euros. A sum that could also be realistic for FC Bayern if they decide on an offensive move next summer. His current market value is estimated at 35 million euros.

Notably: The Brazilian himself confirmed at the beginning of September that FCB had him concretely on their radar. In the radio show El Partidazo de Cope, he explained: “I spoke with Bayern Munich the day before everything was finalized with Betis.” There was even a contract offer: “I don’t know if the offer was seven million net, I didn’t discuss that.”

In the end, Antony stayed true to his word with Betis and chose the club from Seville. “I said that I had given Betis my word and that everything was 95 percent finalized, and I will keep my word,” explained the 16-time national player.

Topic Not Yet Closed

Antony himself does not believe that the chapter with Bayern is completely closed. “I don’t know what will happen in the future,” he hinted. If he confirms his performances in La Liga, Bayern’s interest is likely to rekindle next year – especially since Bayern continues to look for reinforcements on the wing positions.
