The Red Devils’ exiled player, Mason Greenwood, has put down roots in Spain and can now step up to a new level if he joins Barcelona to wear the legendary shirt of Leo Messi.
According to The Sun, Barcelona is interested in the services of Manchester United exile Mason Greenwood and is considering signing a contract for 40 million euros. The Catalan giants are ready to give him Leo Messi’s number 10 shirt.
According to the British press, the player playing for Getafe on loan from Manchester United has attracted the attention of a number of European clubs after he returned to professional football.
The 22-year-old player had to rebuild his life after being accused of sexual abuse by his ex-partner, causing him to be dismissed from Old Trafford after an internal investigation. After being out of action for nearly a year, Greenwood has suddenly made an impact in La Liga.
The English striker has scored 5 goals and provided 4 assists in 15 matches and still has a lot of potential to exploit. Therefore, top clubs such as Bayern Munich and Barcelona are interested in his services.
In fact, according to The Sun, the Catalan giants are willing to pay 40 million euros for this transfer and even give him Lionel Messi’s iconic number 10 shirt. However, 40 million euros was not enough to buy Greenwood because when Getafe intended to buy out the contract with the English player, they offered Old Trafford 40 million pounds but the Red Devils still did not agree.
Greenwood isn’t going anywhere
Website GOAL today revealed that there is no break clause in Mason Greenwood’s season-long contract with Getafe, which means that not only Barcelona but also Real Madrid and Atletico – 3 big clubs are interested in the player. The British cannot spend money to buy out the contract in January.
However, to sell this item, Getafe must permanently buy Greenwood’s 18-month contract with Old Trafford.
Getafe will also receive 20% of future sales as part of Greenwood’s interim deal. It is unclear how much United will ask for the striker they have released, but the 20% clause could push Man United’s asking price to more than £48m.
