Shocking revelations from a star striker!
That FC Bayern It is known that Antony (25) tried hard to recruit Antony (25) last summer. But the Brazilian player rejected the champion’s record.
In an interview with “ge.globo.com”, the striker has now even revealed that he is Bayern coach Vincent Kompany (39) wanted to convince him personally to change clothes one evening.
Interesting: Antony was actually very impressed with the conversation!
He said: “We spoke, he was very polite and said he had always been a big fan of the way I played – this was the day before the deadline at around 11pm.”
Antony has been under contract with Real Betis since January
For this reason, rejection was not easy for him!
Antony: “It was the last day of our negotiations with Betis (Antony’s current club, Betis Sevilla; editor), and the call came from Bayern. I’ll tell you openly: I had real doubts. We’re talking about a big world club here, Bayern Munich. And we’re talking about Kompany, a coach with an impressive history, who contacted me personally.”

But how did the rejection from the German record champion come about?
The problem: Antony has committed to another club. Star striker: “I have agreed everything with Betis, I have given them my word. Everything has been agreed. I cannot do that to myself or the club. This decision is mostly a family decision. This is a place where I feel very comfortable and where I feel everyone’s love.”
Background: After an unfortunate spell at Manchester United (summer 2022 to January 2025), Antony played on loan for the Spanish Europa League participant in the second half of the season.
At Betis he found his way back to his old strengths and reached the Conference League final against Chelsea with the club (1:4). That’s why Antony doesn’t want to break his promise and is said to have rejected not only FC Bayern, but also other big fans.
FC Bayern immediately looked for another solution – and found it in Nicolas Jackson (24), who arrived from Chelsea on a €15 million loan plus a €65 million purchase option.
