Atletico Madrid Frowns At United Asking Price For Versatile Forward
Atletico Madrid have frowned at the asking price Manchester United are demanding for Mason Greenwood, currently on-loan at Getafe.
Greenwood has not appeared for United since he was charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm in 2022.
The case was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February 2023 and the player was sent on loan to Getafe.
It is unclear whether he has a future at United and Atletico are interested. Greenwood has been playing well on loan at Getafe, scoring eight goals and notching five assists in 27 games.
According to the Spanish outlet, Atletico have been taken aback by United’s asking price for the Englishman – set at €58 million (£50million) – which is seen as “outrageous” to the Rojiblancos.
However, given Greenwood’s situation at United, it is difficult to make any predictions on what his next destination is and the fee United may charge potential suitors.
Major decisions on Greenwood’s future will have to be taken in the summer when he returns from Getafe.
Should United decide they do not wish to retain his services, he will have to find a new club and United a buyer. Juventus recently emerged as new candidates for his signature.
