Mason Greenwood made a stunning move that sent shockwaves through the football world as he sealed a last-minute transfer to La Liga club Getafe.
The 21-year-old forward, who had faced a tumultuous period in his career following multiple charges of sexual assault levelled against him in January 2022, saw his career witness a new lease to life following the completion of his transfer.
The talented English striker, who recently set a club record for shirt sales according to Goal, was anticipated to make his debut for Getafe in their upcoming match this weekend. However, the recent comments of Manager Pepe Bordalas appeared to have dashed the chances of seeing the forward don the blue of Getafe anytime soon.

The 59-year-old manager who spoke with Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo ahead of his side’s clash against Osasuna, took time to clarify situations surrounding Greenwood.
“He is a great hope and there is a great expectation to see him play. However, he has not played for over 18 months. He will need a period of adaptation in order to rise to the level of his teammates.
The former Valencia manager also stressed the need to be cautious with integrating the forward into the thick of the action.
We have to be patient and take care of him. The day-to-day will tell us when he is able to compete. You have to have patience.
“We know the potential and the level that he has. I don’t like to talk on an individual level but the teammates are helping him a lot. The dressing room has welcomed him with open arms, just like the rest of the new players, and everyone has felt the warmth of the group.”
