Greenwood enjoyed a sterling season at Getafe but there is no way back for the striker at United. As a result, a price tag of €50m (£42m/$35m) has been placed on the striker's head, a price which Lazio are yet to reach.

The Serie A club have thus far made a bid worth around €25m (£21m/$27m) and will need to increase that offer. They have set a deadline of July 8 to seal a deal, an objective they feel is achievable, per Calciomercato.

Greenwood scored 10 goals and registered six assists last season. Along with Lazio, Marseille are also said to hold an interest in securing the star's signature.

Lazio's deadline is in just six days so they may well table a second, improved bid for Greenwood soon. It remains to be seen if he is willing to move to Italy, however.
