Antony turns down double wages at Bayern for Betis loyalty

According to ESPN, the Brazilian winger insisted he had already given his word to the Spanish club and would not go back on that promise.

His permanent switch from Manchester United to Betis was briefly delayed on Friday, creating an opportunity for Bayern to make a late move. Reports in Germany suggested the Bundesliga champions were even prepared to double his wages to tempt him.

Despite the financial incentive, Antony said his decision was straightforward. Loyalty to Betis, where he has spent the past season on loan, was more important than money or prestige.

The 25-year-old is now officially a Betis player, with the club securing his services after months of negotiations. His choice has been hailed in Seville as a sign of his commitment to the project and his desire to continue his career in La Liga.
