MASON GREENWOOD is at the top of a four-man transfer shortlist at Serie A giants Juventus.
The Manchester United outcast who is currently out on loan at Getafe is set to return to the Red Devils at the end of the season.
GettyGreenwood was exiled from the United squad after domestic issues forced his departure from England.
And the Red Devils are likely to sell the forward this summer and Juventus hopes to secure the 22-year-old for a discounted price as he has one year left on his contract at Old Trafford.
Juventus are looking to reshuffle their attack and midfield over the summer and focus specifically on signing wingers.
The club’s chiefs are preparing to build a team that could play with a 3-5-2 system or switch to 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1.
This means the Italian giants are likely to make some cuts to their squad this summer.
With England U20 star Samuel Iling Jr and Serbian international Filip Kostic are rumoured to be heading out the exit door.
And in return, they hope to scout Greenwood alongside Edon Zhegrova, Felipe Anderson or Mattia Zaccagni.
Kosovo international Zhegrova has racked up 11 goals and 9 assists with the Lille side from whom Juve has signed Timothy Weah and then Tiago Djalo in recent months.

Lazio star Zaccagni is yet to agree to extend his contract beyond 2025, while his teammate ex-West Ham star Anderson is available on a free transfer as his current deal at the Stadio Olimpico runs out in June.
Meanwhile, Greenwood is top of the Juventus transfer after impressing on his loan at the Spanish side making 28 appearances this term, scoring eight goals and creating five assists across all competitions.
The forward is damaged goods despite his obvious talent and United will have to part ways with him as soon as he returns to Old Trafford and that will require lowering their fee.
