Mason Greenwood catching the eye! Atletico Madrid step up interest in Man Utd loanee after starring role for Getafe in thrilling comeback against Rojiblancos

The 22-year-old recently enjoyed a terrific outing against Atletico Madrid, as his goal and assist helped Getafe come back from 3-1 down to hold the Rojiblancos to a 3-3 draw in La Liga. The winger garnered a lot of praise from all quarters including an appreciation from Atletico star Antoine Griezmann, who claimed that the Red Devils loanee "hurt them a lot" throughout the game.

After an impressive outing at the Wanda Metropolitano, Diego Simeone's side are reportedly seeking a move for the player in the summer of 2024, according to Mundo Deportivo. Atletico will face competition from giants Barcelona and Real Madrid along with Greenwood's current employers Getafe, who want to make the player's move permanent from United next year.

The England international has appeared in 15 matches thus far for Geta Azulones since joining them on loan in the summer, and has already scored five times and provided four assists.

United are unlikely to call him back despite the player having a contract with the club until 2027. The Premier League giants are set to lose out sizeable chunk of money if they decide to sell the player.

As reported by The Athletic, there is a sell-on clause in the player's loan deal which allows Getafe to pay only 80% of any agreed price with his parent club. If Greenwood is sold elsewhere, Getafe will still earn 20% of the transfer fee.
