Como showed interest in acquiring Antony, though the Brazilian is inclined towards returning to Spain, where he previously thrived. Cesc Fabregas, who manages Como, missed the opportunity to sign the 25-year-old winger. Antony, currently with Manchester United following a notable transfer from Ajax, was loaned to Real Betis, where he impressed by scoring nine goals and providing five assists in 26 appearances. While Como joined the competition for Antony's transfer, the player has indicated a strong desire to return to Spain, with Real Betis eager to extend his tenure. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has indicated that negotiations between Manchester United and Betis are reportedly facing challenges. In spite of this, Spanish media report that an agreement has been reached between Antony and Betis, leaving Como without the coveted winger.
