""This is one of my favourites," Antony has said about his neck tattoo."
""Because of where I come from and what I've been through, I feel enlightened, which is why I have this tattoo, which has a lot of meaning for me.""
""We've launched a clothing line with Antony," Betis CEO Ramon Alarcon said."
""We're participating with him through royalties, and he'll also have some income outside of sports with that merchandising.""
Antony completed a permanent €22 million transfer from Manchester United to Real Betis and signed a contract running until June 2030 while accepting a wage cut. The word "Iluminado," meaning "enlightened," is tattooed across the front of his neck and carries personal significance related to his background and experiences. Betis created a clothing line inspired by that tattoo, offering pre-order T-shirts at €24.95 and designing hoodies and other garments for release before Christmas, with Antony receiving royalties. The merchandising concept emerged during August contract negotiations. Antony returned after a successful loan, turned down Bayern Munich, and boosted the club's digital following and shirt sales.
