Manchester United considering huge swap deal for Mason Greenwood that could solve major issue

Manchester United are considering a swap deal for Mason Greenwood, it has been claimed.

According to the Daily Star, United are considering a swap deal involving Greenwood and Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix.

Atletico are among a host of European clubs said to be interested in Greenwood, and would allegedly be willing to offer Felix in return, with the attacker having spent part of the last two seasons on loan at both Chelsea and Barcelona.

Felix joined Atletico from Benfica for some €113million (£96million) back in 2019, which at the time made him the fourth most expensive player in history.

However, he has struggled to settle at the Spanish club and looks set for a permanent move elsewhere this summer.

Atletico have allegedly offered Felix to United as part of a deal that would see Greenwood go the other way. United are said to be considering whether Felix would be a good fit at Old Trafford, while the player would allegedly prefer to join a club playing in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Greenwood joined Getafe on loan from United last season and scored 10 goals in 36 appearances, with his performances seeing him named player of the season.

Juventus, Napoli and Borussia Dortmund are also reported to be interested in Greenwood.

United want to sell Greenwood, who is entering the final 12 months of his United contract.

Meanwhile, the Star has claimed that Casemiro is in danger of being priced out of a move to the Saudi Pro League. United want to off-load the Brazilian, who had endured a tumultuous season at Old Trafford and are reportedly willing to accept a bid in the region of £40million.

However several Saudi clubs believe that is too much for a 32-year-old, who has a contract worth almost £400,000 at Old Trafford.
