Barcelona Eyeing Affordable Man Utd Player Mason Greenwood
Barcelona has set their sights on Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, with reports indicating that talks have begun between the two clubs. The 22-year-old has been on loan at Getafe this season, following a decision by United not to include him in the first team last summer. Despite not playing for United since his arrest in January 2022, Greenwood had all charges dropped last February.
United had considered reintegrating Greenwood into the squad under Erik ten Hag, but faced backlash from supporters. However, the young forward has excelled during his loan spell at Getafe, catching the attention of Barcelona ahead of the summer transfer window. The Spanish club has made an initial approach to gather more information about Greenwood’s situation, but formal negotiations have not yet taken place.
Greenwood will have one year left on his contract with United this summer, making him an attractive ‘low cost’ option for Barcelona. While United’s new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has not ruled out Greenwood’s return to Old Trafford, Getafe’s president has expressed the player’s desire to stay with the Spanish club for another season.
Angel Torres, Getafe’s president, stated that Greenwood is keen to continue with the club and that it is ultimately up to United to decide his future. Barcelona’s interest in the player is evident, with his style of play potentially fitting well with the team. However, the final decision lies with Manchester United.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on the developments surrounding Mason Greenwood’s future. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting transfer saga.
