Mason Greenwood could leave Man Utd for Chelsea
It has been reported that Chelsea has made an unexpected “enquiry” for Mason Greenwood, who is expected to leave Manchester United this summer, suggesting that he may stay in the Premier League.
Greenwood is nearing the end of a fruitful loan stint at Getafe for the current season. With 32 games played thus far, the winger—who can also play center forward—has made an impression in Spain, tallying 10 goals and six assists.
Due to Greenwood’s excellent play, there have been rumors that he might even sign with Real Madrid or Barcelona; however, it is more likely that he will sign with Atletico Madrid or rejoin Getafe in La Liga.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the manager of Old Trafford, must decide whether to sell Greenwood this summer or keep him on the team when his contract with Manchester United expires in the summer of 2025. Greenwood needs to be given a new contract or sold while his stock is still high.
TEAMtalk received confirmation on Thursday from sources that Manchester United is open to considering any and all summer transfer bids for the 22-year-old, including those from English rival teams. Since Juventus is known to be monitoring the situation, Serie A should not be ruled out as a potential destination.
Greenwood might make a comeback to the Man Utd first team in the event that Erik ten Hag is fired, according to TEAMtalk insider Rudy Galetti’s revelation on Friday. However, since the Dutchman is very likely to be replaced, Greenwood probably will too.

Chelsea has expressed interest in Greenwood and has ‘enquired’ with Man Utd, according to a startling report from the Man Utd website Utd District.
The Blues want to know how much the Englishman might cost because they know that Man Utd is willing to sell him to a Premier League rival. Although estimates of Greenwood’s value differ, it’s generally accepted that a bid of £40 million should suffice.
Man Utd transfers: Mason Greenwood being considered by Chelsea and Aston Villa
In the event that a deal can be reached, Aston Villa is keeping an eye on Greenwood in addition to Chelsea. However, it looks like Chelsea took the initiative.
Despite being called a “starboy” when he made his breakthrough at Manchester United, Greenwood has demonstrated in Spain that he still has a lot of potential and can score goals on a regular basis.
Even though Greenwood clearly has talent, it would spark a lot of controversy if Chelsea made the move to acquire him.
In addition to having progressed through the ranks at Chelsea’s rivals Manchester United, the contentious circumstances surrounding his transfer to Spain may cause a great deal of anger among Chelsea supporters.
