How Greenwood performed for Getafe last season
And it is the Eagles who have launched an opening bid for the 22-year-old.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Lazio have offered Man Utd a package of £20million.
The deal also includes a 50 per cent sell-on clause.
However, the Red Devils have rejected this offer.
The Sun exclusively revealed last week how Lazio had stolen a march on their rivals in the pursuit of Greenwood.
Negotiations between the club and the player have been ongoing as Lazio look to replace Felipe Anderson.
And it has now been revealed that Man Utd’s asking price for the forward is £30m.
Greenwood spent last season on loan at Getafe, where he scored ten goals and added six assists in 36 games in all competitions.
Lazio are not the only Italian club to be linked to Greenwood, with Juventus also reportedly keen.
However, the Old Lady are understood to have cooled their interest and switched focus to fellow Red Devils loanee Jadon Sancho, valued at £40m.
Meanwhile, reports also claimed La Liga sides Valencia, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid also want to secure Greenwood’s signature.
The former of these clubs is claimed to have launched a “concrete” £25m offer to that end, with his apparent preference also to stay in Spain.
Greenwood has one year left on his contract at Old Trafford.
He has not played for the Red Devils since being arrested on suspicion of rape and assault in January 2022.
In February 2023, all charges were dropped and Greenwood went on to resume his playing career with a loan spell at Getafe.
