Transfer rumour: Manchester United inform Atletico Madrid of ‘outrageous’ Mason Greenwood pricetag

Mason Greenwood, a product of Manchester United’s Youth Academy, has been making headlines in the media for the past few years. Recently, he was released by the police after his girlfriend withdrew all charges against him.

Greenwood is currently on loan at Getafe CF and has been performing exceptionally well despite facing some personal challenges a few years ago. Due to his impressive performances, Manchester United is now valuing him at a very high price, which has left many big clubs feeling frustrated.

Atleti left outraged by Mason Greenwood pricetag

Mason Greenwood, the young forward, was hailed as the shining star set to become the next big sensation for Manchester United. Although the charges were later dropped, Greenwood’s image and reputation took a severe hit.

Manchester United was hesitant to take him back into their squad, not because of his performance, but because of the fans’ reaction. The fans started despising him, and the club had to tread carefully to avoid any backlash.

Mason Greenwood was eventually sent on loan to Getafe CF, a Spanish club, for the 2023-24 season. Getafe, impressed with Greenwood’s skills, immediately made him a regular starter in the team. Greenwood’s exceptional form during his time at Getafe has turned heads in the football world, with many big clubs eagerly awaiting his signature.

Atletico Madrid was one such club that closely monitored Greenwood’s progress throughout the season. However, Manchester United, Greenwood’s parent club, placed a high price tag on him, leaving many clubs frustrated and angry.

Interest on Mason Greenwood remains high

Despite his high price tag, which reflects his immense potential, he remains in high demand. Even the Italian giants, Juventus, are among the clubs that have expressed a keen interest in signing him. Juventus sees the value in his young age and current contract situation, making him an attractive target for the team.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe recently commented on the potential return of Mason Greenwood to Manchester United, stating “He’s a Manchester player and we are responsible for football. It’s clear we have to make a decision. No decision has been made. He is on loan, but he is not alone.”

With this statement, he hinted that Greenwood may have a chance of returning to the club.

With the summer transfer coming in a few months, Will Manchester United keep their Golden boy at the club? Or will he look for new challenges in Italy or Spain?
