Juventus are eyeing a summer move for Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood, considering him their top priority, according to reports. Despite their determination to secure Greenwood’s signature, the Italian club is hesitant to meet United’s asking price, which has been affected by past legal issues.
Greenwood’s value has seen a decline since facing criminal charges two years ago. However, Juventus is exploring options to raise funds for the potential transfer, including the sale of players like Federico Chiesa, Filip Kostic, or Samuel Iling Junior. Chiesa, in particular, could fetch a sum of €25-30 million, facilitating Juventus’ pursuit of Greenwood.
United, on the other hand, is reportedly considering Greenwood’s sale due to various political and ethical concerns surrounding his reintegration into the squad. However, selling a player of Greenwood’s caliber and potential for a relatively low fee would still be seen as a disappointment for the club.
Despite the complexities surrounding Greenwood’s potential transfer, Juventus sees him as a valuable addition, potentially offering a fresh start for the 22-year-old forward.
