The draw for round 16 of the 2023/24 Copa del Rey has been made, setting up an exciting clash between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. The two Madrid giants are already set to face off in the Supercopa de Espana, and this upcoming matchup in the Copa del Rey adds further anticipation to their encounters.

Barcelona, who narrowly advanced past Barbastro, will take on Unionistas de Salamanca in the last 16. Unionistas de Salamanca caused an upset in the previous round by eliminating La Liga side Villarreal on penalties.

Other notable matchups in the last 16 include Getafe vs. Sevilla, Athletic Club vs. Alaves, Osasuna vs. Real Sociedad, and Valencia vs. Celta Vigo.

As the defending champions, Real Madrid hopes to carry over their wins into the Copa del Rey. They defeated Osasuna 2-1 in the final match to win the title the previous year.

Barcelona hopes to have a successful competition this year, as they haven’t won the Copa del Rey since 2021. With a longstanding presence in the league, Atletico Madrid last won the title in 2013.

The clubs are competing for a berth in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, so expect fierce football and competitive games.

Mason Greenwood is on a loan from Manchester United, and Getafe president Angel Torres has stated the club’s position on a permanent deal.

Following a six-month inquiry into Greenwood’s behavior off the field, United decided to cut ties with him on August 21. After that, the English attacker signed a one-year loan with Getafe. In his first 13 games, he has contributed seven goals, and the La Liga team is hoping he stays beyond the 2023–24 season.

The final agreement that saw Greenwood join Getafe on transfer deadline day in September did not contain a buy-option, but Torres has stated that they want to attempt to acquire him outright the following summer.

The Getafe president told Cadena SER: “With Greenwood, we are not only planning on him staying another year, but we also want to buy him.”

Although Greenwood’s contract with United expires in 2025, it has been stated that the Premier League’s biggest clubs would not take into account bringing him back into the starting lineup when his loan at Getafe ends.

Next year, though, the Madrid-based team may have fierce competition for the 22-year-old’s signing as Real Sociedad and Valencia, two La Liga rivals, will be closely monitoring his development. Lazio, the dominant team in Serie A, has reportedly expressed interest in Greenwood as well.

When Getafe returns to La Liga play on Saturday, traveling to Sevilla, Greenwood will be hoping to score once again. Despite their lack of road victories and current ninth-place ranking in La Liga, Jose Bordalas’ team is nine points ahead of Sevilla, who have been forced into a relegation battle following a wild start to the season.

Nike has officially stated the termination of its sponsorship agreement with Mason Greenwood, who recently flaunted his £23,500 trainer collection on Instagram.

On Tuesday, Greenwood shared images of his impressive assortment of Nike footwear on social media, with the estimated value of the showcased shoes exceeding £20,000 ($25,000). Despite this substantial collection and Greenwood’s appearances for Getafe this season in Nike boots, the sportswear giant has distanced itself from the former England star.

A spokesperson for Nike clarified, “Mason Greenwood is no longer a Nike athlete,” emphasizing that there is no existing commercial relationship between Nike and Greenwood.

Nike severed ties with Greenwood in February 2022 when Manchester United suspended the player following his arrest by Greater Manchester Police. Although Greenwood faced charges of attempted rape, assault, and coercive and controlling behavior, the case was dropped by prosecutors in February. This led to an extensive internal inquiry by Manchester United, resulting in Greenwood being loaned to Getafe.

Getafe, where Greenwood is currently on loan, is set to face Almeria in La Liga this Saturday afternoon. The former Manchester United forward has contributed four goals in nine league appearances for his new team, positioning them 11th in the table after 13 matches.

Getafe are reportedly considering making an offer for Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood, aiming to convince the club to part ways with the talented forward.

The Spanish club is looking to leverage Manchester United’s desire to trim their wage bill, but the English club is said to prefer loaning the 22-year-old for another season.

Greenwood made a surprising deadline-day loan move to Getafe to rebuild his career after dropping charges of attempted rape, which he had consistently denied.

Getafe is contributing £75,000 towards Greenwood’s salary, and he has made a positive impact, scoring one goal and providing two assists in eight league outings. His contract with Manchester United is set to expire in 2025.

Despite the successful stint in Spain, there are rumors of a potential return to Old Trafford, especially as transfer expert Paul Mitchell, rumored to become United’s sporting director, was recently in Spain to witness Getafe’s victory over Cadiz. Greenwood is reported to be content and settled in Madrid with his partner and daughter.

Mason Greenwood is enjoying his time in Spain and is interested in making his loan move to Getafe from Manchester United permanent. Greenwood joined Getafe on loan on deadline day in September after an internal investigation into his conduct at United.

The investigation was launched following charges of domestic abuse, which were later dropped, and despite United expressing their belief in Greenwood’s innocence, they initially stated that they did not expect him to play for the club again.

With Sir Jim Ratcliffe set to acquire a 25% stake in Getafe, there is potential for new ownership to influence Greenwood’s future. However, reports suggest that the young striker is content in Spain and has no desire to return to England.

Greenwood is reportedly enjoying his time in Spain and is grateful for the opportunity to experience a new environment.

Although he has scored one goal in six appearances for Getafe, his fitness is said to be improving with each match, especially after being out of action for 18 months. United signed Rasmus Hojlund for £72 million in the last summer transfer window, and they had previously considered reintegrating Greenwood into their squad.

Mason Greenwood, who recently left Manchester United on loan, is said to have smashed a Getafe record before even making his debut.

After learning he has no immediate future at Old Trafford, the 21-year-old attacker has left for Spain. Although he still has a deal with United that runs through 2025, he hasn’t played for the Premier League’s biggest club since January 2022.

That is because of a protracted internal inquiry that was launched after his detention on charges of coercive control, assault, and attempted rape. In February 2023, those accusations were dismissed, freeing Greenwood to concentrate on restarting his professional career.

A season-long loan deal has taken him to La Liga side Getafe, and according to the Daily Mail, more shirts sporting ‘Greenwood 12’ on the back were sold within a week of his arrival than any other player in the club’s history.

The one-cap England international was unveiled in front of almost 4,000 fans, and he might make his debut against Osasuna on Sunday.

Greenwood has dined with the president of Getafe, and United is paying for his lodging in Spain, a translator who is on call around the clock, and frequent visits from friends and family.

Additionally, the winger is mostly paid for by the Red Devils, and no decision has yet been made on his long-term future after the 2023–24 season.

For the first time since being released by Manchester United and securing a loan transfer to La Liga team Getafe, Mason Greenwood has made a statement.

After a protracted internal probe, the Red Devils notified the 21-year-old that he would not be a part of their plans for 2023–24.

Since January 2022, he has not engaged in any competitive gaming.

In February 2023, allegations of attempted rape, abusive behaviour, and violence were dismissed, allowing Greenwood to resume his professional playing career.

Italy and Turkey are said to have expressed interest in United’s request for bids for the one-cap England international.

Eventually, a compromise was reached, and Greenwood has now relocated to Spain in search of a new beginning away from England.

Greenwood has told the English-language Twitter account set up by his new club: “Hi Getafe fans, it’s Mason here. I’m so happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started.”

Getafe coach Jose Bordales has said of welcoming the fleet-footed winger into his squad: “It is too delicate a situation to trivialise this issue. Everybody knows what happened, the appropriate measures were taken.

“Obviously we can only talk about football, about other issues, I think, that the people and the relevant systems did what they had to do, and everybody knows how it ended – without a condemnatory sentence.

“He’s a footballer of the highest level, who comes to Getafe with enormous hope. We are going to help him to recover his best level.”

Greenwood will use the international break to improve his fitness, with the possibility of making his debut for Getafe against Osasuna on September 17.

In a surprising move for the 21-year-old, Greenwood leaves the Premier League team and signs a season-long contract with Getafe.

Following an internal review, United recently declared their intention to terminate Greenwood’s contract.

United has suspended Greenwood since January 2022 as a result of the England international’s arrest and subsequent charges of attempted rape and assault against a female.

In February, the Crown Prosecution Service made the decision to withdraw the charges against Greenwood.

Given that Greenwood’s contract was up in 2025, United may have decided to release him in exchange for a monetary settlement.

The choice of a financial arrangement with United is put off by a loan to Getafe, and the Spanish team will pay a portion of his salary.

“The move enables Greenwood to begin to rebuild his career away from Manchester United,” the Premier League club said.

“The club will continue to offer its support to Mason and his family during this period of transition.”

This weekend, Getafe will travel to Real Madrid in the capital of Spain, and head coach Jose Bordalas will undoubtedly come under fire for his selection of Greenwood.
