Recent chatter has listed Atlético Madrid and Barcelona as potential suitors for dishonoured Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed the Red Devils were not trying to work out a deal with Barcelona for a potential transfer leaving the floor to Atlético Madrid.
“Despite a meeting in recent days between Manchester United’s directors and Barcelona director Deco, we can say that Barcelona are not working on a deal to sign Mason Greenwood,” Romano said.
A recent publication of Todo Fichajes however stated that Madrid club Atleti have recently had a meeting with United to discuss Greenwood’s future.
Atlético Madrid could be a good opportunity for the young attacker to rebuild his career outside England and if the reports are true, initial discussions over a deal have been held.
He has been on loan a Getafe all season and his fine form in Spain has perhaps reaffirmed potential suitors that he still is quality.
It is very unlikely that Greenwood will find his way back into the Manchester United squad and as it stands, a future in Spain seems the most probable outcome.
Fabrizio Romano had recently confirmed United will not let him back into the squad, and it seems set they will let go of him.
“There have been many rumours in Spain about that as Greenwood has been doing very well on loan at Getafe and I can confirm that Manchester United are ready to let Greenwood leave.
“Greenwood can leave if Man United receive a good proposal, but for now Barcelona have different ideas and different priorities, so they are not working on the Greenwood deal. United will look for other solutions because they want to find a buyer for Greenwood,” Romano stated.
With Barcelona no longer in the running, Madrid giants Atleti remain the most probable destination for Greenwood, especially after these fresh reports of a meeting between the two clubs.
