Mason Greenwood ‘lined up for Champions League transfer’ after Man Utd star makes decision on Getafe future
SEVILLA are interested in signing Mason Greenwood from Manchester United at the end of the season, according to reports.
But the Manchester United forward wants to make his Getafe loan permanent.
Greenwood, 22, headed to LaLiga last month after bosses ruled he could not continue his career at Old Trafford following an investigation into his off-field behaviour.
The former England international was set to be welcomed back into the fold at United before SunSport exclusively reported the club had made a U-turn following backlash from fans.
He was arrested in January last year following charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
However, all charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service.
A spokesperson said at that time: “We have a duty to keep cases under continuous review.
“In this case a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.
“In these circumstances, we are under a duty to stop the case. We have explained our decision to all parties.
“We would always encourage any potential victims to come forward and report to police and we will prosecute wherever our legal test is met.”
Greenwood has made five appearances for Getafe thus far, scoring his first goal against Celta Vigo on October 8.
According to the Mirror, Sevilla are lining up a swoop for Greenwood – whose United contract expires in the summer of 2025.
The Red Devils are believed to still be paying the majority of his £75,000 a week wages.
Sevilla won last season’s Europa League, qualifying for this season’s Champions League in the process.
A source told SunSport, however, that Greenwood is hoping to stay at Getafe for the foreseeable future, saying: “The players and fans have all given him a welcome he could only have dreamed of.
“He really feared his career was over. Now he’s just so happy and wants to carry on playing and not think too far ahead.”
