Manchester United are reportedly holding out to receive at least £30m for Mason Greenwood, with Lazio seeing an initial offer of £20m rejected by the Red Devils.
Manchester United have reportedly rejected a £20m bid from Italian side Lazio for out-of-favour attacker Mason Greenwood.
The 22-year-old spent the 2023-24 term on loan at La Liga outfit Getafe and impressed during his first campaign outside of the English system.
Greenwood recorded eight goals and provided six assists in 33 top-flight appearances, with 30 of those features coming from the starting XI of Getafe.
After a 15th-placed finish and a slight relegation battle in the 2022-23 term, Getafe improved during the last season, ending up in 12th position.
Overall, Greenwood played in 36 competitive matches for the Spanish side across all competitions, finding the net on 10 occasions and providing six assists.
