Man Utd prepared to sell Greenwood to Euro giants, want former Chelsea starlet in exchange | OneFootball

Manchester United are open to signing Juventus ace Samuel Iling-Junior in a part-exchange deal for Mason Greenwood this summer, according to TuttoJuve.

The Red Devils have already decided to offload Mason Greenwood and they are currently negotiating with Juventus over a potential transfer.

The Bianconeri are reluctant to pay a fee between £30-35 million and could be open to negotiating a part-exchange deal for the forward.

Iling-Junior is reportedly attracting interest from United. He could be used as a makeweight by the Bianconeri to recruit Greenwood this summer.

Illing-Junior’s homegrown status could be a factor

Greenwood spent the recent campaign on loan with Getafe where he scored ten goals and provided six assists. He was named their Player of the Year.

He will leave United this summer, but it seems unlikely that Juventus can afford him. This could pave the way for a player-plus-cash deal involving Iling-Junior.

The 20-year-old is classified as a homegrown player according to Premier League rules. He trained for nine seasons in the Chelsea academy before his move to Juventus in 2020.

The England youth international has played as a left midfielder or left winger. United are well equipped with Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho in this position.

The club could still sign Iling-Junior. The Bianconeri are open to including him in any transfer deal, as his contract expires at the end of next season.
