Competition for Barça? Updates on Greenwood’s Future

The season of Mason Greenwood in Spain is catching the attention of top European clubs after his loan move from Manchester United under José Bordalás. The 22-year-old English player, who was cleared of charges including rape, sexual assault, death threats, and coercive and controlling behavior, is experiencing a football resurgence at the Coliseum.

In LaLiga, the winger has been a sensation for Getafe with 6 goals and 5 assists in 24 appearances. In the Copa del Rey, he added two more goals in just three matches. Beyond his goals, Greenwood has shown himself as the skillful, powerful, and disruptive winger that he hinted at during his time at Old Trafford, something not lost on the technical secretaries across Europe.

BARÇA’S INTEREST As reported by SPORT, Greenwood is highly regarded by Barcelona as a ‘low-cost’ option to reinforce the forward line next season. According to sources, Barcelona has made some overtures, without committing in any way, as the club’s financial situation for the summer remains uncertain.

In fact, Deco met with John Murtough, Manchester United’s executive, in Barcelona, as confirmed by SPORT. Frank Trimboli, agent of CAA Base Ltd, was also present, and while various names from the Red Devils were discussed, there was no confirmation that Greenwood was among them.

JUVENTUS INTEREST Now, reports from Italy suggest that another major club is eyeing the Englishman. According to ‘Gazzetta dello Sport,’ Juventus is also interested in Greenwood’s services. The Bianconeri’s management is impressed by his technical quality, and given his contract situation (expiring in 2025 with the Red Devils), they see him as an enticing option in the upcoming transfer window, expecting his price to drop significantly.

Furthermore, the Juventus sporting department is seeking players like Greenwood to provide an alternative to Massimiliano Allegri’s current 3-5-2 system. They believe that players like Greenwood, with their attacking prowess and one-on-one abilities, could complement the team’s tactics effectively.
