Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood reportedly has interest from Atletico Madrid ahead of this summer, with some initial talks already taking place over the deal.
The Red Devils attacker is currently on loan at Getafe after falling out of favour at Old Trafford, with the player having previously been suspended following an arrest for charges against him which have since been dropped.
Greenwood is now seemingly the subject of interest from Atletico Madrid as he seems likely to leave Man Utd permanently, and Todo Fichajes state that the two clubs met in the last few days to hold initial discussions over this deal.
Greenwood’s fine form at Getafe this season perhaps shows he could have it in him to revive his career at a big club again soon, with Atletico perhaps a good destination for him to rebuild his career.
It seems difficult for United to allow him back to the club, so it may be that the 22-year-old would do well to continue in Spanish football for the foreseeable future.
Greenwood transfer: Atletico Madrid in contact over signing Man Utd forward
Greenwood broke through at a young age at United and looked like someone with a big future in the game, though it now seems unlikely he’ll get a chance to play for the club again after the nature of the allegations against him in 2021.
MUFC are not, however, in talks with Barcelona at the moment, according to what Fabrizio Romano wrote in his Daily Briefing column.
“Despite a meeting in recent days between Manchester United’s directors and Barcelona director Deco, we can say that Barcelona are not working on a deal to sign Mason Greenwood,” Romano said.
“There have been many rumours in Spain about that as Greenwood has been doing very well on loan at Getafe and I can confirm that Manchester United are ready to let Greenwood leave.
“Greenwood can leave if Man United receive a good proposal, but for now Barcelona have different ideas and different priorities so they are not working on the Greenwood deal. United will look for other solutions because they want to find a buyer for Greenwood.”
