For the time being, United came to the conclusion that he should continue his career away from Old Trafford.
Although it was anticipated that Greenwood would depart United permanently during the summer, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner of United, made a suggestion earlier this year that Greenwood might return to the team.
As a result of the fact that Greenwood’s contract with United is set to expire in 2025, it is possible that he will enter the final year of his deal this summer and may be eligible for a lower fee.
On the other hand, United has the ability to extend his contract, and according to The Athletic, Getafe believes that the extension has already been activated.
Getafe has indicated that they are interested in retaining Greenwood either on a loan basis or permanently, and they believe that his current contract will cease to be valid in the year 2026.
United is said to have denied that they had made a decision regarding Greenwood’s contract as of yet.
They have until May 2025 to activate the extension, and they are not compelled to make their decision publically known.
With eight goals and five assists so far this season, Greenwood has been doing exceptionally well for Getafe, which makes it more difficult for them to keep him.
High-profile clubs such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been mentioned in connection with him.
The possibility exists that Getafe will be unable to compete with those teams due to financial constraints in the event that they choose to pursue a permanent deal.
As part of the initial loan deal, Getafe was given the opportunity to gain twenty percent of any future sale of Greenwood.
United agreed to this provision because of the risk that Getafe incurred by signing Greenwood in the midst of the dispute.
The decision regarding Greenwood’s future will be made by Ratcliffe and other players at Old Trafford, but for the time being, he will be returning to United at the conclusion of the current season.
