Matteo Moretto Transfer Column: Mason Greenwood, the future of the striker of Real Madrid and the manager of Barcelona
Matteo Moretto gives Football España exclusive information on the latest business dominating the newspapers in Spain, as revealed in Daily Briefing by Fabrizio Romano.
As far as I know, the option that was considered closer to the work of Barcelona in the The event of the departure of Xavi Hernandez was Rafael Marquez. It is true that the president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, who ultimately makes the decisions, is a very good friend of the agent Pini Zahavi, and that he put a lot of pressure on Laporta for Hansi Flick to go to Barcelona, but the parties never took place. how close
It was proposed that it was made to Laporta, but Flick was not a profile that had convinced everyone in Barcelona. Now it remains to be seen what the future of the German coach will be, it is not yet clear. Laporta and Zahavi have always had a very good relationship with each other and that has not changed, despite other reports to the contrary.
Regarding Mason Greenwood, I can confirm that Manchester United wanted to sell him to make some money this summer. The current loan club Getafe, who has a sales percentage of 20% of any future deal, are still trying to keep him, but it will not be easy because there is a lot of competition for the 22-year-old.
There are many clubs that are attentive to his situation, which includes Atletico Madrid, and also in Italy, there are clubs that are very interested. We will find out more when Manchester United decide to let him go. From Greenwood's perspective, at this stage, I don't think he has expressed a preference for where he wants to play next season.
My Relevo team-mates have spoken about inquiries from Manchester United about Real Madrid's Joselu Mato. He is on loan from Espanyol, but Real Madrid have the option to make the deal permanent for €1.5m this summer. So far I know there has only been one discussion between United and their agents.
It is true that Joselu's future is yet to be decided but I can assure you that the priority for the veteran target man is to stay at Real Madrid this summer, and he will exhaust his options to do so before considering alternatives. If Real Madrid decide they don't want Joselu next season, they have many clubs interested in him, in England, Italy and Germany.
