Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood is subject of interest from top European clubs, according to a report.

On loan forward Mason Greenwood is attracting interest from Bayern Munich and Barcelona, along with Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, it is claimed.

90Min report Barcelona have sent scouts to watch Greenwood in action, where he is currently playing in La Liga with Getafe.

Greenwood signed on loan with Getafe on transfer deadline day, and they are keen to sign him on a permanent basis. However, the interest from bigger clubs may make this tricky.

How Mason Greenwood is faring

Mason Greenwood is attempting to rebuild his career after his arrest in January 2022. Charges were brought against him but later dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service.

He is eligible to continue his career, but after public pressure, Manchester United decided this summer it would not be at Old Trafford.

Greenwood’s footballing talents have come back to the fore in Spain, where he has scored four goals and provided three assists in all competitions.

His recent goal from outside the box against Almeria was hailed as a goal of the season contender in Spain.

Manchester United will not get full fee

Manchester United’s crack team of negotiators managed to agree with Getafe that the Spanish side will get 20 per cent of his future sale, as part of the loan move.

The Athletic report that United were so desperate late on transfer deadline day to shift Greenwood, that the sell-on clause was agreed to benefit Getafe, if he moves to another club.

You could argue this is somewhat fair to Getafe for taking the gamble on him and playing an important role in getting his career back on track, that they will feel they should be financially rewarded, if he goes onto play for one of Europe’s top clubs.

Manchester United may feel that to get 80 per cent of a fee for Greenwood will represent fair value, considering at one stage, it looked like the club may have had to cut him or pay off his contract.
