Revealed: Man Utd slap huge price tag on Mason Greenwood ahead of summer transfer window – with Atletico Madrid asking about Getafe loan star

The 22-year-old forward is expected to see a permanent move away from Old Trafford sanctioned once he returns to England from a loan spell at Getafe. He has been catching the eye in Spain, registering eight goals and five assists.

Erik ten Hag is said to be open to the idea of absorbing Greenwood back into his plans, while Sir Jim Ratcliffe is ruling nothing out after acquiring a 25 per cent stake in the Red Devils. A parting of ways is, however, considered to be the best option for all concerned.

With that in mind, and as interest in Greenwood builds, FootballTransfers claims that United will be demanding £50m from any deal. That is the figure said to have been passed on to Atletico Madrid after they enquired as to the one-cap England international’s potential availability.

La Liga giants Barcelona have also been linked with Greenwood, and United executives John Murtough and Matt Hargreaves recently met with Blaugrana director Deco in Catalunya. Atletico have reportedly made it clear that they will not be meeting the Red Devils’ current valuation and would need demands to be lowered in order for a deal to be done.
