Reports from Spain suggest that Barcelona has informed Manchester United that they are unwilling to meet the €60 million (£51.3m) price tag for Mason Greenwood.
Greenwood, who was loaned to Getafe by United during the last summer transfer window, has been out of action for the club since his arrest in January 2022 on charges of attempted rape, controlling behavior, and assault.
These charges were later dropped in February, prompting United to consider reintegrating him into Erik ten Hag’s squad. However, backlash from fans and the public deterred the club from proceeding with Greenwood’s return.
Barcelona’s stance on Greenwood’s valuation is clear—they are not prepared to match United’s asking price, which reportedly falls between €40m (£34.2m) and €60m (£51.3m).

Despite keeping an eye on Greenwood’s progress at Getafe, Barcelona finds United’s valuation beyond their financial means.
Nonetheless, United’s new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has hinted at the possibility of Greenwood’s return, indicating that a final decision regarding the forward’s future is yet to be made.
The situation underscores the financial constraints faced by Barcelona, making it challenging for them to meet United’s demands for Greenwood’s transfer.
Meanwhile, United remains open to considering various options for Greenwood, including a potential return to the club, as they navigate the complexities surrounding his past legal issues and his future in professional football.
