Man Utd 'in official talks' to sell Mason Greenwood in potential £30m deal

Manchester United have opened talks with a club over the transfer of Mason Greenwood, according to a report.

Greenwood was shipped out on loan to Getafe last season after Man United's internal investigation into his conduct.

He was arrested in January 2022 following allegations surrounding material which was published on social media.

Charges against the forward, including attempted rape and assault, were dropped on February 2 of last year.

Greenwood scored 10 goals in 36 games across all competitions for Getafe last season.

His future lies away from Old Trafford following an end-of-season review, with the club deciding against integrating him into the first-team squad.

The Red Devils are listening to offers for the 22-year-old, with reports claiming Lazio are in talks over a transfer this summer.

That's according to The Daily Mail, who claim the Italian side have opened talks with Man United over a £30 million swoop for Greenwood.

Man United are now bracing themselves for other clubs to table their offers for Greenwood after Lazio made their move.

The Serie A outfit, who finished in seventh place last season, have a long-standing interest in the player and wanted to bring the Englishman to Stadio Olimpico last season before Getafe snapped him up.

It's claimed that talks are developing positively over an initial £30 million fee that could rise with performance related add-ons.

The Rome-based team believe they can provide the platform for Greenwood to take the next positive step in his rehabilitation.

Lazio are trying to convince him that the project provides the best chance to continue rebuilding on the progress made at Getafe opposed to their domestic rivals, per the report.

Lazio face stiff competition to acquire his services ahead of the new season, with Juventus and Napoli also interested.

Teams in Spain, Germany and Portugal are also keeping tabs on Greenwood this summer.
