Aston Villa has shown interest in Antony as they look for new wingers this summer. Despite this interest, Antony has expressed a preference for staying in LaLiga, following a successful loan spell at Real Betis where he contributed to 14 goals in 26 matches. Betis is keen to make his stay permanent, proposing a co-ownership deal with Manchester United, which is uncommon in the Premier League but seen as their best chance to secure Antony's services. Antony has stated his happiness in LaLiga and hinted at a desire to continue there, making it less likely for Aston Villa to secure his transfer.
