Mercato: the Greenwood index that makes Marseille tremble

Since the end of the season, only one question has grown behind the scenes of the Marseille transfer window: Will Mason Greenwood remain at OM? His name circulates in several major European clubs, his profile seduces, his statistics speak for him, and the suspense does not weaken. Especially since, in recent hours, the English international has pointed out by an initiative to say the least, which could well revive everything. The attacker appeared where nobody really expected him … and that's anything but trivial.

Because Greenwood was seen this week in Manchester. Not on a tourist visit or for family reasons, but for a private training session in a discreet sports center. A homecoming in all discretion, with a former teammate from the training center, from Mani Mellor. Dribbles, strikes, speed exercises: Greenwood did not do things by halves. And this detour across the Channel, when the transfer window gets carried away, inevitably feeds rumors on a possible departure.

Greenwood trains in Manchester… and panics the networks

However, on the side of OM, no one panic. The staff ensures that this express displacement does not change the will of the player. Greenwood is still under contract, and the Marseille club does not intend to give in its jewel. Recruited last summer for more than 26 million euros, he justified every cent: 22 goals, 6 assists and a European qualification in his pocket. De Zerbi erected it as a cornerstone of his project, and no giant seems to be able to wave this certainty.

Greenwood blurs the tracks: towards a return to the Premier League?

In truth, this session in Manchester seems more of a personal message. Greenwood, co-manner 1 Ligue 1 scorer, wants to maintain the rate and even raise it. His return to the field, sooner than expected, testifies to his determination. And if some see it as a wink at his Mancunian past, he looks straight ahead. Objective: to cross a CAP in the Champions League.

In his entourage, we assure that he feels good in Marseille. In May, he still said he wanted to compete in the C1 with OM, praising the unique atmosphere of the velodrome. And to see his involvement, difficult to doubt it. Marseille supporters can blow: Greenwood is ahead of everyone. In the field … as in his communication.
