BREAKING: New Mason Greenwood Decision made,player now set to resume training with the rest of Man United players this week – welcome back star boy

Manchester United face a precarious situation regarding the sale of Mason Greenwood, according to recent reports. After spending the 2023-24 season on loan at Getafe, where he showcased his talent by scoring 10 goals and providing six assists in 36 appearances, Greenwood has garnered attention from top clubs like Atletico Madrid, Juventus, and Barcelona.

Greenwood’s stint at Getafe has concluded, and as the current transfer window progresses, he awaits his next move. Manchester United have decided not to reintegrate him into their squad and are keen on selling him. This decision has put Lazio at the forefront of potential buyers. The Italian club has already initiated talks with Manchester United part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, starting with a bid of €20 million (£17 million) plus a 50% sell-on clause. However, this initial offer was quickly rejected by Manchester United, who are holding out for at least €35 million (£30 million).

Reports from Italy suggest that Lazio’s president, Claudio Lotito, is set to issue an ultimatum to Manchester United, as he is unwilling to meet their asking price. Lotito plans to submit a new bid similar to the initial €20 million, banking on Manchester United’s eagerness to finalize Greenwood’s transfer before their pre-season training camp begins on July 8.

Lotito’s strategy hinges on the hope that Manchester United’s desire to conclude the Greenwood saga swiftly will lead them to accept a lower offer. This new bid will reportedly be valid until July 10, giving both clubs a narrow window to settle any remaining issues.

While Lazio’s tactic is shrewd, it is not without risk. Other clubs, including Marseille and Benfica, are also interested in Greenwood and could disrupt Lazio’s plans with substantial offers of their own. With Greenwood’s Manchester United contract set to expire in June 2025, the urgency to resolve his future is palpable. The coming days will be crucial as Manchester United navigates this complex situation, balancing their financial demands with the need to move forward from the Greenwood chapter.
