As a member of Real Madrid for almost a decade, Isco won La Liga (three times), the Champions League (five times), Spanish Cup (once) as well as FIFA Club World Cup (four times). The talented midfielder moved to Sevilla in 2022 and then did the unthinkable – switched over to the city rivals Betis in 2023. This season, he made a formidable partnership with Manchester United‘s outcast Antony, and is full of praise for the Brazilian.Fall at United, revival with Betis, comeback at Juve?The United‘s loanee has exploded in Spain, registering four goals and four assists in 12 appearances for Betis, which is a start contrast to the 12 goals in 96 appearances in England. After a win in a city derby (2-1) on Sunday, Isco even hinted at Antony‘s possible permanent transfer.”We have to crowdfund so he can stay at least another year. We’ve noticed a change since he arrived; he brings us a lot. I’m happy to enjoy Antony. The truth is that he has surprised us all with the humility with which he arrived, with his desire to help, to contribute. The truth is that we are very happy“ said the player to DAZN after the game.Rescue plan that actually works – leave Old Trafford and run as fast as you can!Considered that Manchester paid a fascinating sum of 86 million pounds for the Brazilian, it seems almost impossible for Betis to pay even half of that sum, but another loan could be a possibility if no other club comes calling. Manu Fajardo, the club’s sporting director was also happy with Antony.”The player quickly integrated into the project and has demonstrated spectacular performances since his arrival. We hope that Anthony will remain at the club, although in football, nothing can be taken for granted” he said.LA LIGA – MATCHDAYS 27 and 29Thursday Barcelona – Osasuna 3-0 (2-0)/Torres 10, Olmo (p) 20, Lewandowski 77/Saturday Sociedad – Valladolid 2-1 (1-0)/Oyarzabal 23, Gomez 68 – Latasa 90+3/Espanyol – Atl.
