Mason Greenwood was contacted by Barcelona, the player’s future at Old Trafford is increasingly unclear.
Greenwood must have no future at Old Trafford.
According to Sport, Barcelona has contacted MU about a potential transfer status for Greenwood. The Catalan club sees the English player as a quality, cheap solution.
Barca appreciates Greenwood’s talent and activity, as he can play on the left wing and in the middle.
“Barca is exploring the possibility of acquiring Greenwood and the price needed to accommodate it. Sir Jim Ratcliffe hinted at the possibility of Greenwood returning to Old Trafford, but MU’s top priority is selling players,” Goal wrote. .
Manchester Evening News further revealed that Greenwood will return to Carrington after his loan contract with Getafe ends. However, the “Red Devils” leadership quickly considered finding a suitable landing spot for the talented Englishman. They will not add Greenwood’s name to the 2024 summer tour list in the US.
With his contract at Old Trafford set to expire in 2025, Greenwood’s market value will decline as he enters the final year of his contract. This is the reason why Barcelona is determined to pursue the need for English players.
Not only Barcelona, The Athletic confirmed that Atletico Madrid is also actively contacting Greenwood’s representative, aiming to convince this speedy striker. Coach Diego Simeone was impressed with the striker born in 2001, especially after the terrible confrontation with Getafe in December. Greenwood was a prominent player in Atletico’s 3-3 draw with Getafe in round 18 of La Liga.
Despite Greenwood’s high form, MU is still cautious about the prospect of bringing the foggy talent back to the squad in the future. The opposing reaction from a part of fans, especially women who support football, must be considered. In addition, pressure from sponsors is also the reason why MU does not want to let Greenwood protect the club.
