Real Betis ‘make offer to buy Antony from Man Utd in rarely seen £17m co-ownership transfer'
REAL BETIS have reportedly made an offer to buy Antony from Manchester United in a rare £17million co-ownership transfer. The Brazilian winger was shipped out on loan to Spain in January after failing to impress Ruben Amorim. 1 Antony looked a different player under Manuel Pellegrini as his five goals and two assists helped Betis qualify for the Europa League. He even picked up a silver medal after finishing as a runner-up to Chelsea in the Conference League final. But Antony is now back at United after his Betis loan came to an end. The former Ajax man cost £86m to sign in 2022 but has struggled for form and is expected to depart United once again. Antony has been linked with a move to Bayer Leverkusen for another reunion with Erik ten Hag. But Betis are hopeful of bringing him back to Spain. And ABC Sevilla claims club chiefs travelled to England for talks with United last week. It's reckoned that Betis proposed a rarely-seen deal that would see them pay just £17m to become theoretical co-owners of Antony. Outright co-ownership is common in European football but is banned in the Premier League. So in practice, it would see Antony join Betis for a low figure, while leaving United entitled to a high sell-on clause potentially worth 50 per cent. 'Bring him back' - Antony needs another chance at Man Utd under Ruben Amorim, says club legend It's claimed that Betis chiefs are now confident of striking a deal, but the Red Devils are insisting on a higher fee up front. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has made no secret of his desire to raise funds for new transfers. And accepting just £17m would see United make a staggering £69m loss on a player signed just three years ago. Yet Betis hope the lure of a 50 per cent sell-on clause will turn the deal in their favour and could even be prepared to up the initial fee slightly.

Women's Euro 2025 prize money: How much do teams win round by round?
Euro 2025 will offer record prize money of €41m (£34m) as Uefa confirmed an increase of 156 per cent from Euro 2022, but there remains a significant gap of almost €300m between men's and women's European Championships. Switzerland will stage the 16-team tournament following a record-breaking Euros won by hosts England in 2022, and Uefa are hoping to smash viewership figures and sponsorship revenues amid the wider growth of women's football in Europe. The total prize money available to teams at Euro 2022 was €16m, with England taking just over €2m by beating Germany at Wembley. The prize money on offer at Euro 2025 will be more than double what it was three years before, and the champions can win up to €5.1m when performance bonuses are added Uefa's executive committee also confirmed that participating teams will distribute between 30 to 40 per cent of their prize money to the players for the first time, in a move that mirrors the agreement made ahead of the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023. Teams at Euro 2025, which includes first-team qualifiers Wales, are also guaranteed a participation fee of €1.8m - almost as much as England's winning-bonus from 2022. The compensation package on offer to clubs who contribute players to the summer tournament will also rise to €6m - an increase of €1.5m from 2022. The total prize money on offer at the 24-team men's European Championships in 2024 was €331 million, with the winners Spain taking home a maximum of €28.25m. Euro 2025 prize money (per team) €1.8m guaranteed (£1.53m) Additional Bonuses Group-stage win: €100,000 (£85,300) Group-stage draw: €50,000 (£42,650) Quarter-finals: €550,000 (£469,200) Semi-finals: €700,000 (£600,000)
