Man Utd Demands €50 Million for Barcelona Target Mason Greenwood
Manchester United has set a price of €50 million (£42.7m) for the transfer of Mason Greenwood, who has attracted strong interest from Barcelona. The Premier League club is open to selling Greenwood but is also considering extending his loan spell at Getafe. The 22-year-old forward has spent the season on loan in La Liga after being allowed to leave Old Trafford in the last hour of the summer transfer window.
Greenwood’s future at Manchester United has been uncertain due to his arrest in January 2022 for attempted rape, controlling behavior, and assault. However, all charges against him were dropped last February, leading to discussions about his potential return to the first-team squad. United’s new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has left the door open for Greenwood’s comeback and stated that a new decision will be made regarding his future at Old Trafford.
Recently, United’s football director, John Murtough, and head of director of football negotiations, Matt Hargreaves, held talks with Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, and two CAA Base agents in Barcelona. Barcelona has identified Greenwood as a potential summer signing and has initiated discussions about his interest in joining Camp Nou.
According to reports, United is willing to sell Greenwood but will demand a transfer fee of €50 million (£42.7m). At the same time, the Premier League club is not ruling out the possibility of extending Greenwood’s loan spell at Getafe. His current contract with Getafe expires at the end of next season. Greenwood is reportedly interested in playing for a Champions League club but would also welcome another season at Getafe due to the positive relationships he has built at the Spanish club.
This season, Greenwood has been one of Getafe’s standout performers in La Liga, scoring six goals and providing five assists so far. His impressive performances have caught the attention of top clubs, including Barcelona. The 22-year-old forward is highly sought after for his goalscoring ability and versatility on the pitch.
As negotiations between Manchester United and Barcelona continue, it remains to be seen where Greenwood will play next season. With his potential transfer fee set at €50 million (£42.7m), the young forward’s future hangs in the balance. Whether he joins Barcelona or stays at Getafe, Greenwood’s talent and potential are undeniable, and he is sure to be a valuable asset to any team he represents.
