Antony grew up in Osasco, on the edge of São Paulo, and came through São Paulo’s academy before moving to Ajax in 2020, where he won two Eredivisie titles.
Manchester United paid around £86 million for him in 2022, but he struggled to justify the fee. A loan move to Real Betis in January 2025 revived his career: he became one of La Liga’s most influential attackers and helped Betis reach the 2025 UEFA Conference League final, and the club later signed him permanently.
Antony is a left-footed winger who cuts in from the right. He has been capped by Brazil and won Olympic gold at Tokyo 2020.
