Sevilla might just be set for another samba reunion. According to reports from Spain, Real Betis defender Natan has openly hinted that he and his teammates are eagerly awaiting the possible return of former loanee Antony.
Antony’s Revival in Seville
For those who may have forgotten, Antony — yes, the same one from Manchester United — spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Real Betis. And omo, it was like the man found his rhythm again.
After struggling to make an impact at Old Trafford, the Brazilian winger linked up with Manuel Pellegrini’s side and quickly cemented himself as a starter. In just 26 appearances, he delivered nine goals and five assists across all competitions. Betis fans couldn’t stop chanting his name.
Loan Ends, Speculation Begins
Sadly for the Betis faithful, his loan deal expired earlier this summer, forcing Antony to return to his parent club. But ever since, rumours have been swirling about a possible comeback to the Estadio Benito Villamarín.
Omo, this is going to be hot if it happens — La Liga defenders won’t be smiling.
Natan Drops a Hint
During a media interaction on Tuesday, Natan was asked directly about the possibility of Antony’s return. His response? Short but loaded.
“We’re all waiting (for him). I’m hopeful.”
That’s as close to a “come home, bro” message as you’ll get in football diplomacy.
What It Means for Betis and Antony
If this move happens, it could be huge for both sides. For Betis, it means bringing back a player who thrived in Pellegrini’s system. For Antony, it’s a chance to continue the resurgence that seemed to vanish in Manchester.
Still, it’s worth noting that as of now, there’s no official agreement — just speculation, hints, and plenty of wishful thinking from fans and players alike. But omo, with the transfer window still open, don’t be surprised if the green-and-white jersey finds its way back onto Antony’s shoulders.
