Mason Greenwood wants to return to Spain on a permanent deal once his loan move to Getafe ends.

The 22-year-old remains contracted to Manchester United, but he is on loan at Getafe for the 2023-24 season.

Greenwood has made five appearances for his new club since arriving, and he scored his first goal for Getafe against Celta Vigo before the October international break.

The Englishman left Man Utd by mutual consent on Transfer Deadline Day after the Red Devils “mutually agreed” that he would leave the club.

Greenwood had been suspended by Man Utd since January 2022, the day of his arrest for suspicion of rape and assault, before moving to Spain.

In October 2022, Greenwood was charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour. He denied all allegations and after key witnesses withdrew from the investigation, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped all charges against the forward in February 2023.

After a lengthy investigation into the player, Man Utd reached a mutual agreement that Greenwood would leave the club on loan.

Now, he is seeking a permanent move to Getafe, according to The Sun. However, Jose Bordalas’ team will not have a free run at signing Greenwood on a permanent deal as Sevilla also want to sign him, according to The Mirror.

In addition, there are other unnamed La Liga clubs who are keen on landing Greenwood too.

Greenwood to Jamaica?

Jamaica coach Heimir Hallgrimsson has confirmed his nation's FA are trying to persuade Greenwood to switch his international allegiances from England to Jamaica.

Greenwood has one England cap to his name but is still eligible to represent Jamaica. “We would like to have the best talent on our team," Hallgrimsson recently said. "If he [Greenwood] gets his former fitness and former levels, then for sure he would have that level to help Jamaica.”
