Olympique de Marseille has decided: Mason Greenwood will not leave at a lower price. While Atlético Madrid is trying to seduce the Marseille club, the Marseille management has set a clear requirement: 60 million euros, not a penny less. A firm position, motivated by the need to make profitable the initial investment and the 50 % of the future sale returning to Manchester United.
With 15 goals in Ligue 1 this season, Greenwood remains a major asset of the Marseille attack. Despite sawtooth performance recently, its full scorer profile is of interest to Atlético Madrid, as reported by several British and Spanish media. The Colchoneros approached OM with an estimated offer at 50 million, but Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia camp in their positions.
Greenwood is not sure to have a second season at OM.
OM's strategy is risky, but assumed. The club, which spent a substantial amount to recruit English in 2023, refuses any downward negotiations. A decision all the more crucial as Manchester United will recover half the amount of the sale. According to Todofichajes, OM will only discuss 60 million, a sum deemed non -negotiable.
The secret war for Mason Greenwood broke out in broad daylight
On the Madrid side, Atlético must review its copy. To release funds, the club could sacrifice Antoine Griezmann or Ángel Correa. The Spanish media specifies that informal exchanges will continue in the coming weeks, but OM maintains its line.
For OM, the stake exceeds the transfer window. The qualification in the Champions League, still uncertain, will influence the final decision. If Marseille wins his ticket, Roberto de Zerbi might want to keep Greenwood for his European project. Otherwise, the sale would become almost inevitable to balance the accounts.
Behind the scenes, the player remains discreet. Wishing to revive his career after complicated years in England, his future will depend on the concrete offers and the sports ambitions of the Marseille club. The next few weeks will sculpt one of the hottest files of summer.
