Twenty million plus 50% on the future resale. Lazio went all-in and has been doing so for several days now Mason Greenwooda midsummer night’s dream of president Lotito. In reality it is a dream born on a late summer night last year. Last 24 hours of the market, United are desperately trying to place Greenwood and his agents are proposing him to Lazio. Lotito is interested, he wants to make the last important move to close the market. However, the technical times do not help and at 8 pm the move does not happen. The big move is made by Getafe, who snatch Greenwood on loan at extremely advantageous conditions and the Englishman responds with a super season. In small Getafe, a town of just under 200 thousand inhabitants in the metropolitan area of Madrid, Greenwood returns to the field after almost two years and closes the year with eight goals and six assists in 33 games. Important numbers that relaunch him and make his valuation skyrocket.
Lazio doesn’t give up
A year ago Lotito had found a principle of agreement for a loan with an option to buy for around 15 million euros. Now he United is asking for more than double, no less than 35 million to let Greenwood go. Lazio does not have the economic strength to make an offer like that, but they feel ahead of all the other contenders for Greenwood. Also because, to date, Lazio’s is the best offer sent to United for the 2001-born player. Napoli and Juventus have not gone beyond timid inquiries, in England he cannot have a market and between Spain, France and Germany no one has been serious for now. Now it’s all in United’s hands. If the Red Devils want to wait for the offer they consider fair, then Lazio risks being overtaken by some big club that can offer more economically and in terms of planning (Champions League clubs). If, on the other hand, Manchester wants to get rid of Greenwood before the start of the camp under Ten Hag’s orders, then Lazio can dream because to date the Biancoceleste one remains the best offer sent to United for the English winger.
