Antony doesn't regret rejecting Bayern for Spain

Brazilian forward Antony has no regrets about rejecting a move to Bayern Munich in favor of Betis Sevilla, stating he found happiness at the Spanish club.

“

I had the feeling that Betis was exactly the right club for me. That's why I don't regret this decision at all!

Antony, who was on loan from Manchester United to Betis in January 2025 before making the move permanent that summer, told the "Bild" newspaper that Betis was the right club for him. "I had the feeling that Betis was exactly the right club for me. That's why I don't regret this decision at all!", he said.

He explained that the decision was made with his family during a difficult phase of his life. "I needed a place where I could be happy again – not just as a footballer, but also as a person," Antony added.

Despite Bayern Munich's late attempt to sign him, including a personal call from coach Vincent Kompany, Antony's choice remained unchanged. "It was of course a great honor. I have great respect for Bayern Munich and also for Vincent Kompany. He is a coach whom I value very highly. When a club like Bayern shows interest and the coach calls personally, it means a lot to a player," he said.
