Three seasons ago, when Mason Greenwood was making waves with Manchester United (31 goals and 9 assists in his first two full seasons with Manchester in all competitions), many observers predicted a golden destiny for him and valued him at €100 million. But in the meantime, extra-sporting matters (which were ultimately shelved) put a brake on the player’s career, who had to step back for several months while the situation was clarified, before being rehabilitated following a remarkable return to Getafe in the Spanish Liga (36 matches, 10 goals, 6 assists in all competitions) where the fans adored him for a season.

Despite the player’s sporting return to the forefront in Spain, the man who was recently considered MU’s greatest hope of the last 10 seasons is not part of the Red Devils’ plans. The English club does not want to sell off its player, who had made his mea culpa a few months ago, and is looking for a way out despite the end of his legal adventures. MU hopes to get the best price for him, namely €40 million. From then on, it is indeed a battle between OM and Lazio of Rome that has started in recent hours.

OM has good reasons to believe it

However, the player seems to be moving away from the Roman club. According to our information, the 22-year-old English left winger is not very keen on the idea of ​​joining Lazio and is favouring the path leading to that of OM. Information somewhat different from the recent statements of the president Claudio Lotito who assured that a player “ten times better than Mason Greenwood was on their list“, also indicating that the track leading to the MU player was real and very hot… last year. The field therefore now seems clear for the Marseille board, which intends to do everything possible to offer Roberto De Zerbi a name in European football, in full possession of his means and who has a strong margin for progression. Aware of the formidable opportunity that is offered to it, the Marseille club is active and has started concrete discussions with its English counterpart, according to our information.

The latest trends even leave a wind of optimism in Marseille regarding the chances of finalizing the operation. As a reminder, Manchester United are demanding €40 million for 100% of the rights of the player whose contract ends in June 2025. The Red Devils will have to be more reasonable and find a formula that will suit all parties. If the negotiations are currently in full swing for the greatest happiness of OM (the player is unanimous internally), a part of the Marseille supporters are already enjoying having one of the biggest European promises at the left winger position.
