Mason Greenwood has been linked with a permanent move away from Manchester United, with Lazio and Juventus keen on signing him.
According to a report from i News, Lazio and Juventus have made progress in their pursuit of Mason Greenwood. The 22-year-old does not have a future at Manchester United, and he needs to leave the club permanently. A move to Italy could be an interesting opportunity for him.
The attacker was on loan at Spanish club Getafe last season. He managed to score ten goals and pick up six assists in all competitions. There is no doubt that he is good enough to play for Lazio and Juventus as well.
The 22-year-old needs to join a club where he will play regularly, and he cannot afford to sit on the bench at this stage of his career. Both Italian clubs will be attractive destinations for him, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. The highly talented attacker has the attributes to develop into a top class player in Serie A.
Manchester United are determined to get rid of the player of this summer, and they will be hoping to raise some funds from his departure. Selling him would allow them to bring in quality alternatives. They will need to improve their attacking unit heading into the new season.
Greenwood could be a bargain buy
The two Italian clubs will certainly hope that they can sign the Manchester United academy graduate for a reasonable price this summer. He is unwanted at his club. So, Manchester United are unlikely to be able to demand a premium for him. If the two clubs can agree on a reasonable fee with the Red Devils, the move could look like a master stroke in the long term.
Greenwood was regarded as one of the finest young attacking talents in the Premier League a few years ago, and he could still fulfil that potential. He is versatile enough to operate as the centre of forward as well as a winger. His ability to slot into multiple roles and perform at a high-level could make him a real asset for the Italian clubs.
