After careful deliberation, the Board decided to do a dramatic U-turn in the transfer of Michael Olise, which was a stunning decision regarding Mason Greenwood’s return.

Mason Greenwood’s potential transfer to Benfica has encountered significant obstacles, and the Portuguese club has reportedly withdrawn their interest. This development complicates Manchester United’s plans, as they aim to offload Greenwood this summer to avoid a reduced fee next year when his contract expires in June 2025.

 

Greenwood, who spent the last season on loan at Getafe in La Liga and performed admirably with 10 goals and six assists in 36 appearances, is unlikely to return to Manchester United’s first team. Getafe, despite their interest in re-signing him, cannot afford United’s asking price of £34-40 million.

 

While Benfica’s interest has waned due to financial constraints and lack of contact with Manchester United, several other top European clubs are still in the running. Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have shown intrigue in Greenwood’s capabilities. Atletico Madrid, which had previously been leading the chase, seems to have stalled in their pursuit, leaving Juventus as the current frontrunners for his signature.

 

Manchester United’s new owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, faces the challenge of securing a favorable deal for Greenwood amid this complex transfer scenario. The club’s strategy will likely involve leveraging the interest from multiple clubs to negotiate a transfer fee that aligns with their valuation of the player.
