Atletico Madrid ‘Ready’ To Offer Player Plus Cash For Mason Greenwood

Manchester United outcast Greenwood has become a subject of serious interest for spanish side Atletico Madrid.

Atletico are one of the teams reportedly interested in buying Greenwood from the Red Devils after his impressive performances for Getafe while on loan from the Red Devils. United could opt to offload him to the Spanish side and the Daily Star reports they would be open to a swap deal that would see Felix head to Old Trafford in exchange.

Joao Felix and Mason Greenwood swap deal in the summer

Felix has failed to live up to the hype at Atletico Madrid after a sensational stint at Benfica in a big-money transfer in 2019. He was eventually loaned out to Chelsea before joining Barcelona in a temporary deal last year. With Atletico open to signing Greenwood, they may be willing to let Felix leave on a permanent basis this time around.

Greenwood scored eight goals and set up a further six in 33 La Liga appearances for Getafe this season and was crowned their ‘player of the season’. Getafe are said to be eager to keep him, but the likes of Atletico, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund have also been linked. Portuguese star Felix, on the other hand, scored seven times in 30 games in the league and has been linked with a move away from spain.

Man Utd could be open to the idea of Joao Felix to bolster attacking ranks with uncertainty surrounding the futures of Jadon Sancho and Antony Santos.

Felix has been a player of interest in the past after United snubbed the chance to have him on loan before his short-term loan move to Chelsea.
