Manchester United loanee Mason Greenwood wants the investigation into Jude Bellingham to be dropped

At the beginning of the month, Getafe said Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham to the Spanish Football Federation after allegations were made that the 20-year-old had called his England teammate Mason Greenwood a “r*****”.

Greenwood was previously charged with attempted rape, sexual assault, coercion and domestic violence in the UK in 2022, but those charges were dropped after a key witness walked away from the case. On his return to football, he was loaned from Manchester United to Getafe, where he has thrived this season.

Greenwood was not involved in Getafe's decision to sign Bellingham, and now according to a report in England, Caught Offsidea source close to the 22-year-old asked to drop the investigation.

“Mason told him that he does not want Jude to be punished and asked him to leave. He does not want bad publicity and wants to continue playing football. He was very angry at the time because he did not expect it not from someone like Jude, but he knows he's still likely to be one target for this kind of thing so he accepted that he needs a thick skin”.

If the investigation continues and Bellingham is convicted, he could be sanctioned for a significant period of time, where Real Madrid could be without him for up to 10 games in La Liga.
