Isco calls for ‘crowdfunding’ to secure funds for Man United star Antony | OneFootball

Real Betis star Isco has provided a humourous take on the club’s chances of keeping hold of teammate Antony for next season.

This, of course, comes amid what has been a stellar start to life away from parent club Manchester United for the Brazilian.

Antony secured a move to Spain during the January transfer window, linking up with La Liga outfit Real Betis on loan for the remainder of the campaign.

And the former Ajax man has since looked a player reborn.

Already considered a key member of Manuel Pellegrini’s frontline, Antony has racked up eight direct goal contributions in 12 appearances to date.

Owing to such impressive exploits, chatter surrounding a potentially extended stay for the 25-year-old at the Estadio Benito Villamarín has, in turn, begun to mount.

And as alluded to above, early this week, Antony’s case has been backed by another leading member of Betis’ ranks.

Speaking to the media in the aftermath of his side’s derby victory over Sevilla on Sunday night, Isco insisted:

“We will now need to do crowdfunding to bring Antony in!”
