Isco Urges Real Betis Fans to Crowdfund for Antony Loan Extension After Stellar Impact
Isco proposes fan crowdfunding to extend Antony's loan at Real Betis after the Brazilian winger's transformative impact, with 4 goals and 4 assists in 12 games.


Isco's Bold Proposal for Antony's Future
Real Betis midfielder Isco has suggested an unconventional solution to secure Antony's services beyond his current loan spell – a fan-led crowdfunding campaign. The Brazilian winger, on loan from Manchester United since January, has been instrumental in Betis' recent resurgence.
By the Numbers: Antony's Instant Impact
- 12 appearances: 4 goals, 4 assists across all competitions
- 6-match winning streak in La Liga since his arrival
- 84% wage coverage: Betis paying majority of £100k+/week salary
- Only 2 losses in 12 games with Antony in squad
Isco's Glowing Endorsement
The Spanish playmaker told DAZN:
"We've noticed a complete transformation since Antony arrived. His humility and work ethic have elevated the whole squad. He deserves another year here – let the fans make it happen!"
Financial Realities & Historical Context
- Manchester United's £81m signing in 2022 (second only to Pogba)
- Betis' record transfer remains Denilson (£22m in 1998)
- Current deal runs through June with Champions League qualification (6th place) still possible
What Comes Next?
With United likely seeking permanent solutions for their underperforming asset, Betis may need creative financing to retain their winter revelation. Antony's redemption arc in Seville continues with Thursday's Europa Conference League quarterfinal looming.
