Agent: Betis treats Anthony like a biological son, the player accepted a significant salary cut to facilitate the transfer

Anthony's agent Pedroso was interviewed by "Marca" and talked about the player's difficult return to Betis this summer.

Talk about how Anthony returns to Betis

Anthony's return to Betis is a carefully considered choice. He will return to a place like home, where he is treated like his own son. Betis became his spiritual home in a short period of time. The club’s colleagues, fans and the charm of the city of Seville were important factors in his firm choice here. He even turned down some very tempting offers in order to achieve his goal of returning to Betis.

Is this one of the most complex negotiations you have ever experienced as an agent?

This was a long and delicate negotiation because the other party was a giant like Manchester United. Although it was not the most complicated negotiation in my career, it was indeed very difficult because there were significant financial differences between the two parties. It was Betis's efforts and Anthony's financial concessions that finally led to the deal.

What key actions allowed negotiations that originally seemed to be failing to continue?

The key turning point in the negotiations was Anthony adjusting his financial expectations and accepting a significant salary cut in order to support what he believed was the best project for his career at the moment.

Talk about Betis's plan to launch Anthony's exclusive sportswear to make up for the loss of salary cut

This brand called "Iluminado" is not only a way of financial compensation, but also an extension of Anthony's identity at Betis, aiming to provide him with a platform to express creativity and interact with fans.

Since Anthony decided to leave Manchester United to join Betis in January, the players have also begun filming a documentary about him. When will this documentary be released?

The documentary is currently in the post-production stage, and we are internally discussing the next step. The content of this documentary is very exciting, detailing the importance of Anthony's move to Betis, his mentality changes and impact. Interviews with teammates, family members and people around him add vivid annotations to this extraordinary experience. We have been filming for more than three months in the UK, Spain and Brazil. We plan to launch it in the form of a documentary series. The specific number of episodes has not yet been determined. We are negotiating with a number of global platforms and are expected to officially announce relevant information soon.

Are there any follow-up plans to film Anthony’s story at Betis?

Yes, we do have a follow-up plan, especially after he has established himself in the Brazilian national team. Our goal is to follow his career with Betis in the long term and realize his dream of participating in the World Cup.
