Atletico Madrid are interested in signing the former Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood.
The 24-year-old has been exceptional since he moved to France, and he has established himself as a key player for Marseille. The player is reportedly valued at €100 million as per Fichajes, and the Spanish club is willing to sign him. It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to pay the asking price.
If they do decide to pay €100 million for Greenwood, it would come as a huge boost for Manchester United. The Premier League side included a 50% sell on clause in his contract when they decided to sell him. They are set to receive 50% of any fee Marseille will pocket for Greenwood. Manchester United are looking to build a quality team, and they could use €50 million to bring in new signings.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Greenwood has been excellent in France, and he is currently one of the best attacking players in Ligue 1. It is no surprise that Atletico Madrid are interested in him. They are looking to replace Antoine Griezmann for the long-term and they believe that the former Manchester United Academy graduate could be ideal for them. There is no doubt that he is a tremendous player with a lot of potential, and he has the technical attributes to do well in Spain.
Greenwood set for La Liga return?
He has previously shown his quality with Getafe in La Liga. Greenwood has been linked with Barcelona as well. The opportunity to return to Spain could be exciting for him. In addition to that, Atletico Madrid are one of the biggest clubs in the world. The opportunity to play for them will be exciting. They have talented players and a world-class manager. Diego Simeone could help Greenwood improve further and fulfil his potential.
The Spanish outfit is looking to build a team capable of winning the league title and the UEFA Champions League. Adding a technically gifted attacker like Greenwood could prove to be a masterstroke. He is entering the peak years of his career, and he could play his best football with them. Greenwood has 15 goals in 22 matches this season.
