Mason Greenwood’s loan spell at Getafe is coming to an end, and it seems highly unlikely that he will stay with the Spanish club. Reports suggest that Manchester United has decided to sell the 22-year-old forward, despite his impressive performances during his time in LaLiga.
Greenwood joined Getafe on a season-long loan in August and has caught the eye of several clubs with his performances. Barcelona is said to be one of the clubs interested in signing him, and rumors of a potential transfer intensified when Manchester United chiefs John Murtough and Matt Hargreaves were seen meeting with Barcelona’s Deco in the Catalan city.
There are also reports that Ajax manager Erik ten Hag would welcome Greenwood back to the club, but only if it works for all parties involved. However, Marca claims to have an update on the situation, stating that Manchester United has decided to cash in on Greenwood and has set a price tag of £42.8 million.
Unfortunately for Getafe, this figure is beyond their financial reach, despite their strong desire to keep the promising forward. The club’s officials are reportedly planning to negotiate with Manchester United, highlighting how well Greenwood fits both their playing style and dressing room. However, it seems that Manchester United’s decision to sell is firm, and Greenwood himself is eager to play in the Champions League or another European competition.
This news is also disappointing for Barcelona, as the current transfer fee demanded by Manchester United is reportedly too high for them as well. Murtough and Hargreaves met with officials from both clubs during their recent visit to Spain, indicating that negotiations were taking place.
Greenwood has made 23 appearances in LaLiga this season, scoring six goals and providing five assists. Despite his individual success, Getafe currently sits in 12th place in the table, 11 points away from European qualification.
In conclusion, Mason Greenwood’s loan spell at Getafe is set to end, and Manchester United has decided to sell him. Although several clubs, including Barcelona and Ajax, are interested in signing him, it seems unlikely that a deal will be reached with Getafe or Barcelona due to the high transfer fee demanded by Manchester United. Greenwood’s impressive performances in LaLiga have not been enough to lift Getafe into European qualification contention. As his future remains uncertain, it will be interesting to see where the talented forward ends up next season.
