Barcelona would pay 40 million for a player who almost went to jail
Barcelona is already thinking about reinforcements for next season, when it will have its first new coach
Mason Greenwood has emerged as a standout figure in LaLiga EA Sports, making an impressive mark since joining Getafe on a season-long loan. The English winger has rediscovered his brilliance, showing flashes of the talent that made him stand out at Manchester United. With seven goals and five assists in 24 appearances, his performances have caught the attention of clubs across Europe, including Spanish giants Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

These two clubs have every reason to compete for his signature during the coming summer. Barcelona are benefiting from Greenwood's stated inclination to wear the Azulgrana shirt at some point, while Atletico Madrid have been making initial contact since last December. However, the cost of the transfer could be decisive in this contest, with the Red Devils keen to get rid of the player as soon as possible. This, after he faced accusations of sexual violence, of which he was acquitted. In addition, time is against him, as his contract expires in a year and a half, which limits Manchester United's bargaining power.
According to reports from Christopher Michel, a journalist with 'Fussball News', Greenwood's price has seen a significant drop, standing at €40 million, six million less than what was mentioned at the end of January in the Daily Mail. This reduction in Manchester United's claims could pave the way for both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to step up their efforts to secure his signature.
