Aiming For Mason Greenwood, Dortmund Must Lose A Minimum Of IDR 1 Trillion

JAKARTA Manchester United's young winger Mason Greenwood is said to be the target of the Champions League finalist from Germany, Borussia Dortmund in the transfer market this summer.

Greenwood is expected not to play for the Red Devils again, after being told that there was no way back for him last year after his arrest and termination of a criminal case.

In January 2022, Greenwood was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault before being further arrested for alleged sexual harassment and death threats. He was suspended by Manchester United until the trial was held in November 2023.

However, the case against Greenwood was canceled by the Prosecutor's Office because new evidence was revealed and key witnesses withdrew, so he was free to restart his playing career. The Red Devils were originally thought to be welcoming the Briton back to his squad after an internal review, but as soon as news broke of their plans, they changed their minds over the public commotion.

Greenwood has rebuilt his career on loan at La Liga Getafe club, scoring 10 goals and six assists in 34 games this season and seems to have attracted the interest of a number of well-known European clubs in the process.

According to The Mirror, Borussia Dortmund is the newest club ready to compete with Juventus, Atletico Madrid, and Napoli to get the signature of the Manchester United academy dropout.

Getafe is said to be trying to keep Greenwood on loan for another season, but that possibility is shrinking after Manchester United wants to sell him permanently.

Red Devils minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe opens the door for Greenwood if any club dares to pay a minimum of 50 million pounds, including for Dortmund who are interested in bringing it to Signal Iduna Park.

If he leaves for Dortmund, Mason Greenwood, who previously scored 35 goals and made 12 assists in 129 games for Manchester United, has the potential to reunite with Jadon Sancho. Because, Dortmund intends to keep the player who has a feud with Erik ten Hag.
