This is a track that has been setting social networks alight for several days. After starting its summer transfer window very strongly with the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi then Ismaël Koné and Lilian Brassier, Olympique de Marseille now wants to get moving to significantly strengthen its offensive sector. In this sense, the profile of a left-footed attacker capable of animating the corridor has been targeted. And this has become even more of a priority with the departure of Iliman Ndiaye to Newcastle. Then the name of a certain Mason Greenwood was quickly mentioned on the England side.

And it is indeed a concrete case for Olympique de Marseille. In this sense, the British press even revealed in the last few hours that the Olympian team had made an offer for the English international. The 22-year-old striker remains on a successful loan with Getafe this season (36 matches, 10 goals, 6 assists). But if he played this season in a mid-table club in La Liga, it is obviously not for nothing. His career took a turn after a legal case. He was prosecuted for attempted rape and assault on his partner. Faced with the videos of the victim that had circulated on social networks, Manchester United had decided to get rid of him and had excluded him from the first team.

A very big sporting achievement
The player even spent a few days in prison before the charges were dropped in February 2023. The English justice system decided to close the case after the “withdrawal of key witnesses and new evidence”. But this affair has left its mark and since the announcement of this rumor on the OM side, some OM supporters have launched a hashtag against Mason Greenwood (#GreenwoodNotWelcome) to show their discontent. But on the side of the Olympian management, we are more measured. According to information from Provencethe management does not prefer to replace the English justice system in this case and wants to judge Mason Greenwood on his qualities as a footballer.

At the club, it is mainly believed that his talent is undeniable and that his arrival would be a huge sporting coup. The regional daily also specifies that OM knows full well that without this affair, Mason Greenwood would have had no chance of landing at OM since at the time Manchester United, who considered him the biggest talent in their training center, valued him at 100 million euros. Since then, his rating has dropped because the Red Devils are demanding around 40 million for his last year of contract. The OM management has already started negotiations with the player and his entourage. And if the English press already announced an offer, Provence explains that OM has not yet taken action in this matter but will discuss with Manchester United to lower the price. And this seems possible while the player is clearly not closed to the idea of joining Ligue 1.
