Manchester United’s football director, John Murtough, has been seen in discussions with Barcelona officials, including the club’s director of negotiations, Matt Hargreaves.

This development has sparked speculation about a potential swap deal involving Mason Greenwood. The Red Devils are said to be considering a proposal that would see Greenwood move to Barcelona on a permanent basis in the upcoming transfer window.

Manchester United’s football director, John Murtough, has been seen in discussions with Barcelona officials amid speculation surrounding Mason Greenwood’s future.

The Red Devils are reportedly considering an intriguing swap deal that would involve Greenwood making a permanent move to the Nou Camp this summer.

In a video released by Spanish outlet Jijantes on Monday, Murtough and the club’s director of negotiations, Matt Hargreaves, were filmed meeting with a group of individuals in Barcelona.

Among them were Barcelona’s sporting director Deco and two CAA Base agents, Frank Tramboli and Fede Massai.

The presence of CAA Base agents raised eyebrows as Greenwood continues to be linked with a potential move, especially since Greenwood doesn’t have any official representation, with his father taking a prominent role in negotiations during his career so far.

The purpose of Murtough and Hargreaves’ visit to Spain could be to facilitate Greenwood’s move once his loan spell at Getafe concludes. Greenwood has impressed during his time at Getafe, tallying eight goals and five assists in 26 appearances.

Reports suggest that Greenwood’s performances have attracted interest from top La Liga clubs, including Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

The footage of Murtough’s meeting with Barcelona officials comes shortly after reports from Sport indicated that Barcelona had made a move for Greenwood.

It was reported that Barcelona viewed him as a cost-effective option amid United’s potential willingness to sell and the uncertainty surrounding his future.

The speculation around Greenwood’s future intensified following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s £1.3 billion investment in Manchester United in February.

Ratcliffe hinted at a reconsideration of Greenwood’s situation, suggesting that a “fresh” decision would be made regarding his future after Richard Arnold allegedly changed plans to reintegrate him into Erik ten Hag’s squad for the current season.

Manchester United aims to bolster their transfer budget this summer, and Greenwood’s potential departure presents an ideal opportunity to generate significant funds.

According to reports from Sport, United is eyeing talent from Barcelona’s renowned La Masia academy, known as one of the most prestigious in world football.

To potentially reduce Greenwood’s transfer fee, Barcelona might propose including promising youngsters who are on United’s radar as part of the deal.
