Barcelona is reportedly preparing a £40 million summer transfer bid for Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood. The 22-year-old, currently on loan at La Liga club Getafe, has been in impressive form, contributing five goals and four assists, propelling Getafe to eighth in the league table.
While Getafe wishes to secure Greenwood permanently, Barcelona aims to entice him with a £40 million offer, which includes Lionel Messi’s iconic No 10 jersey. Messi, a legendary figure at Barcelona, left the club in August 2021, and the No. 10 shirt has remained unclaimed since Ansu Fati’s departure. Barcelona sees the opportunity to use this historic jersey as a key element in persuading Greenwood to join the Nou Camp.
The Bradford-born forward, who faced legal issues earlier this year, took a loan move as part of his career revival after a tumultuous period at Manchester United. Despite expressing hopes of returning to United one day, Greenwood’s future at the club seems uncertain.
