Mason Greenwood ‘leads European giants’ four-man transfer shortlist’ if Man Utd cash in on Getafe loanee in summer


MASON GREENWOOD is reportedly at the top of a four-man transfer shortlist at Serie A giants Juventus.

The switch came after charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault against the striker were dropped in February last year.

The Red Devils are likely to sell the forward this summer and, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus hope to secure the 22-year-old for a discounted price as he has one year left on his contract at Old Trafford.

Juventus are looking to reshuffle their attack and midfield over the summer and focus specifically on signing wingers.

The club’s chiefs are preparing to build a team that could play with a 3-5-2 system or switch to 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1.

This means the Italian giants are likely to make some cuts to their squad this summer.

England U20 star Samuel Iling Jr and Serbian international Filip Kostic are rumoured to be heading out the exit door.

And in return, they hope to scout Greenwood alongside Edon Zhegrova, Felipe Anderson or Mattia Zaccagni.

Kosovo international Zhegrova has racked up 11 goals and 9 assists with the Lille side from whom Juve has signed Timothy Weah and then Tiago Djalo in recent months.
