Lazio Takes Lead in Pursuit of Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood as Felipe Anderson Leaves

Lazio is currently in talks with Manchester United about a potential transfer for Mason Greenwood. The Italian club has taken the lead in contacting the Red Devils, surpassing interest from Serie A rival Juventus. They are eager to reach an agreement for the 22-year-old player, who is no longer needed at Old Trafford.

Manchester United has placed a €30M price tag on Greenwood, which may be more than Lazio can afford. Despite an initial rejection of an offer of €20M plus a 50 percent share in any future sale, Lazio remains keen on acquiring the talented forward. They are determined to secure a replacement for Felipe Anderson, whose contract is expiring this summer after a successful six-year stint with the club.

Greenwood spent last season on loan at Getafe in La Liga and attracted interest from other clubs, including Juventus. The promising player scored eight goals in 33 league appearances and has caught the attention of several top teams. Lazio will continue their pursuit of Greenwood as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.

Lazio’s interest in Greenwood comes after successful negotiations with Manchester United regarding a transfer for Bruno Fernandes earlier this year. The Italian club was able to secure the midfielder’s services for €60M, despite strong competition from other clubs.

The news of Lazio’s interest in Greenwood has generated excitement among fans of both clubs. Many believe that the young forward could be a valuable asset to either team and could make a significant impact on their respective performances next season.

As negotiations between Manchester United and Lazio continue, it remains to be seen whether an agreement can be reached on the player’s transfer fee and other terms. However, one thing is clear: Greenwood is highly sought after by several top clubs and will likely have many options when it comes time to make a decision about his future.
