Mason Greenwood has been linked with a summer move away from Manchester United amid his links with Juventus and Barcelona.
According to a report from The Sun, Juventus are currently the front-runners to sign Mason Greenwood in the summer transfer window. However, the 22-year-old Manchester United prospect is keen on a move to Barcelona instead.
Greenwood was on loan at Getafe this past season, and he was outstanding for the Spanish club. The attacker picked up 16 goal contributions in all competitions, and his performances left several clubs impressed. Recent reports have also linked him with Atletico Madrid.
The 22-year-old does not have a future at Manchester United, and he will look to leave the club permanently in the summer. It will be interesting to see if Juventus can convince the Englishman to join them.
Juventus need to bring in quality attacking reinforcements during the summer transfer window. Pursuing a talented young attacker like Greenwood could prove to be a wise decision. The 22-year-old is likely to improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a top class attacker for the Italian club. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and the Serie A outfit will be able to provide him with that platform.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and they might not be able to afford the player this summer. Greenwood needs to join a club where he will get regular first team action and if Juventus can provide him with the necessary assurances, a move to Italy could be ideal for him.
Greenwood could be a useful addition to Juventus
The 22-year-old is capable of operating as a right-sided winger as well as centre-forward. He will add goals and creativity to the side. He is likely to improve with coaching and experience in the coming seasons. Juventus could nurture him into a top class attacker. Given his situation at Manchester United, Greenwood could be available for a reasonable price this summer.
The transfer could look like a major bargain in the long term if the player manages to fulfil his tremendous potential. He was regarded as one of the best young players in European football a few years ago, and there is no doubt that he could develop into an indispensable asset for the Serie A club.
