Manchester United are reportedly considering a swap deal involving Mason Greenwood and Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix, according to the Daily Star. Atletico Madrid, along with several other European clubs, are interested in Greenwood. They are allegedly willing to offer Felix in exchange, a player who has recently been on loan to Chelsea and Barcelona.
Joao Felix joined Atletico Madrid from Benfica in 2019 for approximately €113 million (£96 million), making him the fourth most expensive player in history at that time. However, he has struggled to find his footing at Atletico and is expected to move permanently this summer.
Atletico’s proposal involves swapping Felix for Greenwood. Manchester United are deliberating whether Felix would be a suitable addition to their squad, considering his preference to join a club competing in the Champions League.
Greenwood, who spent last season on loan at Getafe, scored 10 goals in 36 appearances and was named player of the season. With only 12 months left on his United contract, the club is looking to sell him. Besides Atletico, Juventus, Napoli, and Borussia Dortmund have also expressed interest in Greenwood.
Additionally, FOOTBALLWAVE reports that Casemiro might be priced out of a move to the Saudi Pro League. United are willing to accept a bid of around £40 million for the Brazilian midfielder, who had a challenging season at Old Trafford. However, several Saudi clubs consider this amount too high for a 32-year-old with a contract worth nearly £400,000 a week at Manchester United.
