Manchester United winger Antony has allegedly been presented with the chance to make the switch to a Spanish club.
Having failed to impress during his first two seasons at Old Trafford, Antony has dropped further down the pecking order during 2024-25.
Just three starts and nine substitute outings have been made under Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim this campaign, his solitary goal contribution coming against Barnsley in the EFL Cup.
With Amorim eager to generate funds for new arrivals, the Brazil international is one of an array of players who are available for transfer during the January window.
According to ABC Sevilla, Real Betis are doing their utmost to attract Antony to La Liga.

Contact made with agents
The report suggests that Betis have been in contact with Antony's representatives for as long as three weeks in an effort to add the attacker to their ranks.
Betis are allegedly keen to sign the 24-year-old on loan for the remainder of the campaign with United paying a portion of his wages.
As it stands, no agreement has been reached, yet a positive outcome could become more realistic if Antony is prepared to take a wage-cut.
Working in Betis' favour is Antony's desire to play in a top European league, rather than a division such as the Greek Superleague where Olympiacos have allegedly expressed an interest.
Furthermore, Betis are prepared to remain patient in their efforts to acquire the former Ajax star's services, hopeful that their work and commitment to the deal will pay off.
Assane Diao has been allowed to move to Como for a fee in the region of £10m, providing Betis with the funds to target Antony.

Will Man United give green light?
Having been used on six occasions since the beginning of December, Antony is being used more regularly than he was under Ten Hag.
Nevertheless, he has not featured for longer than 27 minutes in a Premier League fixture under Amorim, emphasising that there are other players ahead of him.
Although United are likely to be prepared to contribute to his wages to facilitate a loan, they may request further payment through other means given that a permanent deal for the £84m man is unlikely at this stage.
