Juventus are reportedly prepared to offer Manchester United on of their key players in exchange for Mason Greenwood.
The future of Greenwood has been an issue that has hung over United for over two years, but the saga could soon come to an end.
The English youngster was arrested in January 2022 and charged with attempted rape and assault.
Greenwood denied the allegations, and the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charges in February 2023.
After United conducted an internal investigation, Greenwood was loaned out to Spanish side Getafe for the 2023-24 season.
The attacker impressed in La Liga, scoring ten goals and assisting a further six as he was named Getafe’s Player of the Season.
United are keen to capitalise on the player’s form by selling him this summer, but their reported £42 million asking price has ruled out potential suitors including Getafe.
One club that are still interested are Juventus, although they are reportedly also unwilling to meet the player’s price tag.
Instead, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Old Lady could offer attacker Federico Chiesa to United as part of an exchange deal for Greenwood.
Chiesa represents a good opportunity for Juventus to raise funds this summer. The Italy international’s current contract expires in 2025, and he is yet to commit his future to the Serie A giants.
That said, nothing will be decided before the end of Euro 2024.
Juventus and Chiesa’s agent Fali Ramadani will meet after the tournament in Germany.
No negotiations have taken place between the two parties, and while Juventus would ideally like to keep Chiesa, it will be up to the player to decide where he wants to play next season and beyond.
Juventus’ Serie A rivals Lazio are also interested in Greenwood, giving United another option for offloading the 22-year-old.
