Mason Greenwood wanted in Juventus transfer after setting new career record but Man Utd ‘haven’t ruled out shock return’
JUVENTUS are interested in signing Mason Greenwood from Manchester United, according to reports.
The forward, 22, has spent this season on loan at Getafe in LaLiga.
Greenwood has not played for Man Utd since January 2022, following charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault – which were subsequently dropped in February 2023.
The United academy graduate was loaned out last summer, but will still have a year remaining on his contract come the end of the season.
Ineos, who bought a 27.7 per cent stake in the Red Devils earlier this season, have not ruled out bringing Greenwood back into the fold at Old Trafford next term.
But the feeling is that United chiefs would like to cash in on Greenwood this summer, if they feel they receive a fair price.
According to The Times, Juventus want to sign Greenwood this summer.
The Italian side have had another poor season by their lofty standards, sitting third in Serie A – 24 points behind leaders Inter Milan.
Juve are the latest potential suitor to emerge, with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid both having been linked.
Getafe, meanwhile, would love to keep Greenwood around next season.

Ahead of their match with Almeria at the weekend, manager Jose Bordalas said of Greenwood’s future: “We haven’t spoken about it yet. He’s in the same situation as the other loanees.
“When the season is over, it will be time to get down to work to see if Mason will be able to stay another year or not.
“It will depend on his club and the decision he makes.”
Greenwood reached a new career milestone in Getafe’s 3-1 win over Almeria on Saturday.
He scored twice and laid on an another for Jaime Mata, taking his LaLiga tally to eight goals and six assists in 28 appearances.
This marks his best combined tally in a season – previously achieved in the 2019-20 campaign, when he scored 10 goals and assisted once in the Premier League.
