The 22-year-old has been absent from United’s lineup since his arrest in January 2022 on charges of attempted rape, controlling behavior, and assault.
Although the charges were dropped in February, an internal investigation by United led to the decision that Greenwood needed to rebuild his career away from Old Trafford.
Thriving on loan at Getafe, Greenwood has notched three goals and four assists in 14 La Liga appearances this season.
Barcelona has been closely monitoring his performances, and as per The Sun, the Spanish champions are gearing up for a £40 million move in the upcoming summer.
The report indicates that, as a significant enticement, Barcelona is prepared to offer Greenwood their revered No.10 shirt, a jersey synonymous with Lionel Messi’s prime era at Camp Nou.
Greenwood is reportedly open to staying in Spain beyond the current season and is willing to join Barcelona.
Xavi’s team currently occupies the fourth spot in La Liga, trailing Real Madrid and Girona by seven points.
