Lazio’s provide for Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood is nowhere close to as excessive as was reported yesterday, however they’re keen to ultimately meet the asking worth.
That is the declare of Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, who insist that the Rome outfit have solely bid €20 million (£16.9m) for the United star.
Greenwood is about to be bought this summer time following a very good mortgage spell at Getafe final season that attracted the eye of the world’s elite.
