Getafe ‘hold a 20% SELL ON clause if Mason Greenwood signs for another club’… despite the LaLiga side only taking the Man United exile on loan!

• Mason Greenwood joined Getafe on loan from Manchester United in September 
• It has now been claimed a clause was put into the deal to sweeten Getafe’s side

Getafe find themselves in a win-win situation with Mason Greenwood, with the LaLiga side reportedly holding a 20 per cent sell on clause should the Manchester United striker go elsewhere at the end of the season. 

Greenwood made the season-long move to the Madrid-based side on loan in September and has proven to be a hit, with four goals and three assists through 13 matches. 

There appears to no future for Greenwood at Manchester United, and the Athletic claim that while Getafe are ‘weighing up’ making a permanent move for him, they are set to be in the money either way thanks to a previously unknown clause. 

They claim that in a bid to sweeten the loan deal and to convince Getafe to make the move for the 22-year-old, the Spanish side have a 20 per cent sell on, and they will only have to pay 80 per cent if they do make his loan permanent.  

The 22-year-old was arrested on charges of attempted rape and assault in January 2022 and was suspended while on full pay by Manchester United. The charges, however, were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February after ‘key witnesses’ withdrew their involvement. Greenwood continually denied all the claims against him.

Following a drawn-out internal investigation, United announced in August that Greenwood would not play for them as they were prioritising the ‘welfare, wishes and perspective’. 

As a result, the future of Greenwood, who is under contract at United through until 2025 as well as holding the option to extend for an extra year, will be a hot topic in the coming months.  

Last month, according to Spanish outlet AS, several scouts from Premier League clubs went to watch Greenwood in action at the Estadio Coliseum.

No Premier League club showed interest in Greenwood in the summer, but he attracted enquiries from clubs in Italy and Turkey.

Now though, news of Getafe’s reported clause has changed the landscape of any move.

Greenwood was suspended by Manchester United in January 2022 after being arrested on suspicion of rape and assault. The charges were dropped in February this year

The Spaniards didn’t pay a loan fee to land Greenwood and now they are said to be exploring a permanent deal. 

Asked about that potential deal, Getafe president Angel Corres told reporters, as per the Athletic: ‘We have not talked about price. We have talked about looking at the situation and seeing what they propose because there has also been a change of shareholding there at Manchester (United).

‘But we are still happy with the meetings and with the videoconferences we have with them. 

‘It is still too early to consider either continuing for one more season or that they will propose a price and we will commit the whole (of the contract) because we have a percentage and to buy the rest.’
