BORUSSIA DORTMUND, the German club set to face Real Madrid in the Champions League final, is considering a move for Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood. The 22-year-old striker, who spent this season on loan at Getafe, has attracted interest from other clubs such as Juventus and Atletico Madrid. However, Dortmund’s interest in Greenwood is significant, especially considering their successful loan of Jadon Sancho from United earlier this year.
Sebastian Kehl, Dortmund’s sporting director, remained tight-lipped about the rumors surrounding Greenwood. During the club’s Champions League media day, Kehl emphasized the importance of focusing on the upcoming final against Real Madrid before discussing potential transfers. He stated, “Let’s play that final on Saturday… and then we’ll see how we move on.”
Greenwood’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain. He has not played for the club since January 2022 and has a year left on his contract. Despite his successful loan spell at Getafe, where he scored eight goals in 33 LaLiga matches and won the player-of-the-year award, United may be open to a transfer fee for the young striker rather than another loan deal. If Greenwood does leave on loan again, United will activate a one-year extension on his contract to maintain leverage in any potential future negotiations.
The narrative surrounding Greenwood took a controversial turn earlier this year when he was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault. However, in February 2023, all charges were dropped due to the withdrawal of key witnesses. This development could impact the perception of Greenwood’s character and may be a factor considered by clubs interested in signing him.
As the summer transfer window approaches, it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds for Greenwood and whether Borussia Dortmund will pursue him as a potential addition to their squad. Manchester United’s stance on the player’s future and their willingness to negotiate a transfer fee rather than another loan deal will also play a crucial role in shaping Greenwood’s next move. For now, fans and clubs alike will have to wait until next week for Dortmund’s decision and further developments in this ongoing transfer saga.
