Antony Reveals Close Call with Bayern Transfer That Almost Happened

Forward of Real Betis, **Antony**, shared details about a failed transfer to Bayern Munich that took place in 2025.

«The transfer window was closing the next day. It was essentially the final day of our negotiations with Betis, and that’s when we received a call from Bayern. To be completely honest, it made me hesitate for quite a while. We’re talking about a giant like Bayern Munich, and their coach, Kompany, who has an impressive background, personally reached out to me. We had a conversation late at night, around 11 PM, and he was incredibly courteous, expressing that he had always admired my playing style. However, I had already made agreements with Betis, and I had given them my word. Everything had been settled, and I felt I couldn’t betray either myself or the club. My decision was largely influenced by family reasons as well. This is a place where I’m truly happy and feel the support of everyone who has welcomed me,» said Antony, as reported by Globo.

This season, the player has made 11 appearances for Betis across all competitions, scoring six goals and providing two assists.
