Atletico Madrid have been left shocked with Manchester United asking for more than £50million for Mason Greenwood.

Greenwood, 22, has spent the current campaign on loan at Getafe and has impressed, plundering eight goals and providing five assists in 27 matches. His spell in La Liga comes after United completed an internal investigation after charges against the England forward of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February of 2023.
Getafe are hoping to keep Greenwood on loan again for another season but United have decided they want a fee for the striker if they are going to part ways this summer. And it's understood Greenwood has received interested from a number of other clubs, including Atletico.
But according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Diego Simeone's side are stunned by United's 'outrageous' asking price. They claim the Red Devils want £51.3m for Greenwood, which would represent their fourth-most expensive sale ever behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku and Angel di Maria.
Greenwood has not played United since January 2022 and Sir Jim Ratcliffe is yet to make a decision on whether to regenerate the academy graduate back into the first-team fold at Old Trafford or sell him. Ratcliffe said last month: "We will make a decision, correct.
"All I can do is talk about the principle of how we will approach decisions like that. Is he the right type of footballer, are we happy with if is he a good person or not?
"He's a Manchester United footballer, so we are in charge of football. So the answer is 'Yeah, we have to make decisions. It's quite clear we have to make a decision. There is no decision that's been made. He's on-loan obviously, but he's not the only one.
"We've got one or two footballers that we have to deal with and we have to make a decision on so we will do that. The process will be: understand the facts, not the hype. Then try and come to a fair decision on the basis of values, which is basically is he a good guy or not? Could he play sincerely for Manchester United well, would we be comfortable with it and would the fans be comfortable with it?"
Ratcliffe isn't the only one who has been discussing Greenwood, after England boss Gareth Southgate was asked about the talented forward. Greenwood has one Three Lions cap to his name, which came off the bench during their 1-0 win over Iceland in September 2020.
Southgate said: "I don't think it's something for pre-Euros. Allowing him to get his career going again abroad appears to have been a good move. But I have to say I have not tracked it closely."
Greenwood is contracted to United until the summer of 2025.

I seriously hope he gets the hell out of his United contract. Worst case he should refuse to play for United, sit on the bench if they play hard ball and wait out his last year and go to where he wants on his terms. United treated this boy with disrespect, pandered to the feminist that tried to end his career and now with there shit team going down the drain they want him back. Greenwood should give them a middle finger and tell Ratclif where he wants to go and end of story.
For once I agree with a BARCA fan… Our former board members were fvckin simps who played to the side of the women who wanted to ruin this boys life, acting like he killed someone. I’m happy he finally got his career back on track

Mason greenwood is stupid if he doesn't choose an African country to play for. Whether he's Nigerian or whatever, he should ditch being called an England forward at this point. Wake up dummy

That price is too much? For Greenwood? We paid close to 80 mill for Hojlund almost 60 for Mount lets not even talk about Casemiro and Varane prive tags as well as Antony and Sancho and Atletico feel 58 mill for Greenwood is too much? Get outta here that boy worth every penny and United shouldnt even be selling him

since United are not ready to accept him playing for the team, no club will pay such amount for he's service, he is a great player though.
