Anthony stays in La Liga and is blocked, high transfer fees become obstacles, Fabregas throws out olive branches

Manchester United striker Anthony's departure trend this summer has changed. After finishing a successful loan at La Liga Real Betis, Serie A new player Cuomo becomes the latest club to express interest.

According to reliable sources, Manchester United's primary goal this summer is to sell Anthony forever. The 25-year-old Brazilian winger performed well during his loan at Betis in the second half of last season, effectively reshaping his own value. Betis hopes to keep Anthony, but has not reached any agreement with Manchester United yet.

As Manchester United and Betis are slowly negotiating the transfer form (permanent transfer or renewal) and fees, well-known transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano pointed out that Serie A team Cuomo has directly contacted the players and expressed his intention to introduce them.

Como Club successfully won the 10th place in Serie A last season (2024-25). With the support of a boss with strong financial resources, the team coached by formerly famous star Fabregas is actively promoting the transfer plan, and Anthony has been included in their shortlist for signings.

It is reported that Anthony himself has learned of Cuomo's interest, but his current priority is to return to Betis. However, the key to whether his wish can be realized lies in whether Betis can reach an agreement with Manchester United. Manchester United insists on seeking a permanent transfer, while Betis is more inclined to be on loan again. A key obstacle is that the rumor that Manchester United marked Anthony's Anthony worth as much as £30 million, which is generally believed to be beyond Betis's tolerance.

Manchester United takes the initiative in the negotiations. Anthony's contract with the club is still two years away, so the Red Devils are not in a hurry to satisfy the player's willingness to return to Betis, but are preparing to wait for a quote that meets his psychological price to appear. Other alternatives are expected to be taken into consideration later in the transfer window.

Cuomo knew that Anthony's current first choice was Betis. But they showed patience and were willing to wait until the summer window closed. If Betis still cannot meet Manchester United's requirements for transfer fees (whether it is a permanent transfer or loan fee), Anthony may face a choice and consider the options provided by Cuomo.
