Getafe president Angel Torres has spoken about the future of Mason Greenwood and confirmed he will not be playing for Man United next season.
Speaking to Radio Marcia, he stated: “If it depends on the boy and his parents, where he will continue next year.
"The news we have from last week is that if there is a good offer Manchester United would like to sell, because he won’t return there, so we will have to wait a month and a half or two months, until the end of June… but if it depends on him and the family, they are very happy [at Getafe] and very happy with the fans.
“He hadn’t played for 16 months when he arrived and we’ve got him back, he’s scored eight goals in the league and two in the cup and he’s given a great performance.
“What I think is that he is going to stay [at Getafe]. He’s going to stay another year or half a year, until January. This year starting from scratch can be a spectacle. The only one I have spoken to about Greenwood, to ask about the possibility, is [Barcelona president, Joan] Laporta, the day we played, that they like him and so on, but of course, to sign, all the teams, not only Barcelona, but Atlético, Getafe, everyone, need to sell and then buy, that’s why it’s going to be a long summer.
“I spoke to Laporta and Deco [Barca sporting director], who I have a good relationship with, but the situation in Spanish football is that first you have to sell to be able to sign and that is the problem that 80% of clubs have.”
Man United are reportedly ready to sell Greenwood in the summer. They are hopeful of getting close to £50m from his sale, which can then be diverted into their own summer transfer budget.
The Englishman has been enjoying a prolific season at Getafe, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists, but is yet to make a final decision on where he will be next season.
