Mason Greenwood, the young Manchester United forward, moved to Spain on transfer deadline day via an initial season-long loan.
This decision followed Manchester United’s choice not to reintegrate him into the first team after allegations of attempted rape, assault, and controlling behavior were dropped.
Since joining Getafe, Greenwood has made a significant impact with seven goal involvements in just 13 appearances.
Greenwood’s contract with Manchester United runs until 2025, with an option for a one-year extension.
Despite this, United considered a free transfer for him before his loan to Getafe. Now, Getafe president Ángel Torres has expressed interest in making Greenwood’s stay permanent.
Torres revealed ongoing discussions with Manchester United to explore Greenwood’s future at Getafe.
Torres stated, as reported by The Athletic, that they haven’t discussed a price yet but are looking at the situation and potential proposals, considering the recent change in Manchester United’s shareholding.
While it’s early to discuss a permanent move or another loan, Getafe is pleased with Greenwood’s performances.
Torres believes in Greenwood’s potential and noted that Manchester United is satisfied with the treatment he has received from Getafe fans and the Spanish community.
Torres is optimistic about Greenwood’s development, expecting him to fully regain his form by January or February after a 16-month hiatus from playing.
Greenwood is reportedly enjoying his time in Spain, attracting attention from top clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund.
A return to Manchester United remains possible, but any final decision on Greenwood’s future will wait until Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s investment in the club is finalized and a new football department is appointed.
