While playing in La Liga, Greenwood scored eight goals and added six assists, also scoring twice in three Copa del Rey games.

And the lifestyle in Spain seems to have been to his liking, with Getafe keen but unable to keep Greenwood.

According to a report from the Mirror, Spanish giants Valencia have launched a "concrete" £25m offer to land the forward.

The report adds that "his priority is Spain", despite an offer also forthcoming from Juventus.

Greenwood, who has one year left on his contract at Man Utd, is said to have agreed terms on a move to Turin.

The Italian giants are said to have offered a deal worth £40m plus add-ons, which is closer to the money Man Utd want for him.

However, Juventus must first balance the books before parting with this cash, meaning a deal may rest on the departure of Federico Chiesa and Matias Soule first.

Greenwood is also the subject of interest from the likes of Napoli, Lazio, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, with the former of these clubs holding formal talks with Man Utd over a deal.

Greenwood has not played for the Red Devils since being arrested on suspicion of rape and assault in January 2022.

In February 2023, all charges were dropped and Greenwood went on to resume his playing career with a loan spell at Getafe.

When asked about Greenwood's future at the club earlier in the season, new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said: "We will make a decision. I don’t know if he (Greenwood) could still have a future.

“All I can do is talk about the principle of how we will approach decisions like that.

“Is he the right type of footballer? Are we happy with that? Is he a good person or not?

“He (Greenwood) is a Manchester United footballer and we are in charge of football. 

“So the answer is it’s quite clear we have to make a decision. 

“Could he play sincerely for Manchester United well and would we be comfortable with it and the fans be comfortable with it?

“I can talk about the principle. The principle is the important one because we will have other issues going forwards. 

“You are dealing with young people who have not always been brought up in the best circumstances, who have a lot of money and don’t always have the guidance they should have. 

“What we need to do when we have issues like that is to understand the real effects, not the hype.

“Then we need to make a fair decision in the light of the club’s values. That’s what we need to do and that’s how we will deal with it.”
