Reliable sources from Spain say Atlético Madrid is considering offering a swap deal with Manchester United. Accordingly, Atlético will send striker João Félix to Old Trafford with the purpose of exchanging for striker Mason Greenwood from Getafe.
Since joining Atlético Madrid in 2019, João Félix has had impressive seasons in Spain. However, last season, he did not show stable performance and was at risk of being pushed out of the official squad. This made Atlético’s board of directors decide to look for options to exchange players to help Félix regain his form.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood is being pursued by Getafe. After a successful season in Spain, Greenwood attracted the interest of many big teams, including Atlético Madrid. Atlético management believes that the combination of Greenwood and other stars such as João Félix, Griezmann and Suárez will create an extremely strong squad..
If this deal is completed, both players will have the opportunity to perform at new teams. Greenwood can find his form and strength at Atlético, while Félix will be trusted by Manchester United to give him the opportunity to develop his talent.
Currently, negotiations between clubs are still taking place. Many sources said that the two sides are trying to find a win-win agreement to complete this deal before the 2024 summer transfer window officially opens. If all goes well, this will be a strategic step for both clubs to strengthen their forces and seek future success.
