UPDATE: Atletico Madrid is said to be opening negotiations with Manchester United regarding the case of Mason Greenwood, Diego Simeone is very impressed with the English star who is on loan at Getafe and wants to bring him back to Los Rojiblancos

Mason Greenwood is on loan from Manchester United, but Atletico Madrid may be reevaluating their interest in him in light of the club’s asking price.

The 22-year-old Academy United alumnus appears headed for a summer transfer, with many Champions League teams keeping an eye on him.

The attacker, who joined Getafe on loan from United in the summer, has been a key member of Jose Bordalas’ team, contributing eight goals and five assists in all competitions in his first season in Spain.

Atletico Madrid, managed by Diego Simeone, is rumored to be interested in signing the one-cap England international to the Metropolitano Stadium, making them one of the teams most closely associated with Greenwood.

However, a report from the Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo suggests that United’s demand for a higher fee will complicate the sale.

According to the article, United is adamant about selling Greenwood for £49.8 million (€58 million), a price the Colchoneros consider to be “outrageous.”

In February, Mail Sport revealed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new football operations chief and part-owner of United, had made it possible for Greenwood to return to Old Trafford.

It’s a new choice, he declared.

“I am able to discuss the principle.” I won’t be talking about Mason. I’ve heard about that before. The main thing is the principle. In the future, there will be more problems.

You are working with young people who, although wealthy, have not always had the ideal upbringing and who lack the necessary supervision in their lives.

When faced with problems like that, we must recognize the true effects rather than just the hoopla and then fairly decide in accordance with the club’s principles. That is what must be done, and that is how we will handle it.
