Manchester United is considering selling Mason Greenwood, their talented young forward, this summer. This news comes after reports from Spain claim that FC Barcelona is not willing to meet United's asking price of €60 million for Greenwood. The 22-year-old had joined Getafe on loan after United allowed him to leave Old Trafford in the final hours of last summer's transfer window. This move was made following his arrest in January 2022 for attempted rape, controlling behaviour, and assault. However, all charges against him were dropped in February, and United had considered bringing him back into the squad under manager Erik ten Hag. However, the club faced backlash for this decision, leading them to reconsider.
Recently, United's football director John Murtough and head of director of football negotiations Matt Hargreaves met with Barcelona's sporting director Deco, as well as two CAA Base agents, Frank Tramboli and Fede Massai, in Barcelona. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss a potential deal for Greenwood and to gauge Barcelona's interest. However, reports suggest that Barcelona has made it clear that they are not willing to meet United's valuation and are seeking a fee between €40m and €60m for the player.
It is believed that United's asking price is outside of Barcelona's budget, although the Spanish champions have been keeping an eye on Greenwood's progress at Getafe. Meanwhile, United's new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has left the door open for Greenwood's return and has stated that a new decision will be made regarding the player's future. It remains to be seen what will happen with Greenwood, but United is determined to get the best deal for their young talent.
Despite his uncertain future, Greenwood has been performing well at Getafe, scoring six goals in La Liga this season. This has caught the attention of Barcelona, but it seems that they are not willing to pay the asking price for the player at this time. As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Manchester United and Mason Greenwood's future. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
