LaLiga strugglers ‘enter race to sign Mason Greenwood as ex-Man Utd striker also approached by Italian giants Lazio’

MASON GREENWOOD is being targeted by Spanish side Getafe.

Greenwood "mutually agreed" to leave United on August 21 following backlash over his potential return to the squad after he was charged for attempted rape and sexual assault.

Lazio in Italy and Turkey's Besiktas are reportedly considering an approach for the striker.

And now according to the , Getafe are interested in bringing Greenwood to Spain on a short-term deal as they struggle in 11th.

The ex-England international was charged in October last year but the case was dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service.

Greenwood has not kicked a ball professionally since January 2022 when he was suspended.

And it was decided that it would be best for all if his future was away from Old Trafford. 

If United cannot find him a club they may be .

That still has two years left to run with the option of a further 12 months had the club wanted to take it up.

That would mean a pay off of nearly £8million.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Lazio were given the opportunity to sign Greenwood before the British transfer deadline day closes.

It comes after Turkish giants Besiktas were linked with an approach for the forward on a loan deal.

Another Turkish club is also understood to be interested, and Turkey might be a more realistic destination as the Süper Lig transfer window deadline is not until September 15.
