Manchester United may be a step closer to offloading Antony after his failed tenure at Old Trafford.
The winger arrived in at United for £86 million signing from Ajax under Erik ten Hag.
However, since then, Antony has failed to justify the extortionate cost that brought him to Old Trafford.
This season, Antony has made 12 appearances, averaging 30 minutes per game, barely making it on the pitch for 15 minutes on five occasions.
The Red Devils set the winger as a priority sale over the summer, however had no takers.
Now, United are just as determined to part ways with the Brazilian, several clubs considering a move for the 24-year-old.

European interest for Antony
Real Betis have already approached United for a potential loan deal this month, suggesting a shared salary responsibility to get the deal across the line.
The idea of United covering some of the wages of a loanee isn’t a new one, with The Red Devils contributing to Jadon Sancho’s wages when he was exiled to Borussia Dortmund.
However, Antony’s wage demands could be a real barrier to any permanent move, a challenge United are experiencing with several stars they hope to offload.
Sky Sports have now reported that Greek side Olympiacos are interested in making a move for the winger.
Olympiacos are currently the Europa Conference League holders, now competing in the Europa League, whilst holding their place at the top of the Greek Super League.
However, in the wake of former Premier League star Willian leaving the club, Olympiacos are now looking for a replacement winger.
The Greek side are, similarly to Real Betis, looking at a loan deal for the Brazilian, which could potentially kick-start Antony’s career once more, should it be successful.
