Marca: Betis reserves No. 7 jersey and non-European quota for Anthony, waiting for his return possible

Hupu, August 17th According to the latest report by Spanish media "Marca", Real Betis is waiting for the possibility of Brazilian star Anthony returning to the team. For this purpose, they also reserved the No. 7 jersey and a non-European quota for him.

"Marca" said that in Real Betis' current lineup, the No. 7 jersey has not been used by any player registered by the club so far. Last season, the owner of this number was Anthony who came from Manchester United on loan from the winter window. During that period, Anthony wore the No. 7 jersey and showed excellent competitive state skills in the game for Betis, helping the team achieve excellent results. Because of Anthony's outstanding performance last season and his important contribution to the team, Real Betis still hopes to re-sign him, so the club decided to keep the No. 7 jersey. At the same time, the team also deliberately retained a registered place for non-EU players.

Le Marca said that judging from the current time, the current situation is more favorable for Real Betis. The team management knows that there is no need to rush to deal with Anthony's return. They have enough patience and confidence that as time goes by, all problems can be properly resolved.

However, as of the current situation, progress in the transfer market does not seem to be as smooth as Real Betis expected. As of now, Premier League giants Manchester United have not received official offers from Real Betis or other aspects about Anthony.

However, Real Betis did not give up because of this. They are actively planning a variety of plans to increase the possibility of successfully introducing Anthony. Among them, the method of loan plus purchase has become one of the team's key strategies to consider. It is reported that Real Betis intends to propose a joint ownership plan to Manchester United. If Anthony is sold successfully in the future, Manchester United will be able to make a large part of the profits. Moreover, the deal will include some flexible terms that allow Real Betis to gradually purchase part of the player's rights within a specific time in the future. However, whether this plan can eventually be recognized by Manchester United requires further communication and negotiation between the two sides.
