Is the "King of Traffic" coming to support Mourinho?

7:44pm, 23 August 2025【Football】

According to the well-known media ESPN, Fenerbahce bid 45 million euros to buy Anthony. Manchester United tends to send the "king of traffic" to the Turkish Super League, but the players themselves still insist on waiting for news from Real Betis.

Celtics' agreement, Anthony "waits for Godot"

Just like other small and medium-sized teams in La Liga, Real Betis' financial resources are difficult to deal with player transactions of 30 million euros or above. Manchester United priced Anthony 40 million euros, which made it very difficult to advance the transaction. During his loan at Real Betis last season, Anthony created 14 goals (9 goals and 5 assists) in 26 games and led the team to the European Union finals. The tsunami from Biamalin Stadium made him unable to give up. Even though Fenerbahce offered a generous salary, Anthony was still more willing to wait for Real Betis.

La Liga is more suitable for Anthony. Fenerbahce is not the optimal solution

Betis tries to sign Anthony on loan again. Brighton, Leverkusen and Benfica give Manchester United quotations based on loan. Fenerbahce is one of the few clubs willing to pay out the transfer fee directly. Anthony was able to play as a top La Liga player at Betis, largely because Celtics coach Pellegrini is good at using technical players, and Isco has also regained his long-lost happiness in Biamalin. Mourinho's defensive contribution to offensive players has extremely high requirements, and going to Fenerbahce is indeed not the best solution for Anthony.
