At the end of summer preparation, OM finally seemed to have found stability. The team is running, the automatisms are created, and some players display a promising form. But here it is an external element, and not the least, comes to shake up the balance. Cristiano Ronaldo, in person, would have activated a lever capable of seriously annoying the Marseille ambitions in the short term.
Cristiano Ronaldo claims Greenwood in Al-Nassr
According to revelations from the newspaper Marcathe Portuguese star of Al-Nassr would have asked its leaders to go for Mason Greenwood. The English striker, the cornerstone of the Roberto de Zerbi project, is under contract with OM until 2029. He came out of a dazzling season with 22 goals and 6 assists in all competitions, and his rating continues to climb. If last year, an offer from the Gulf had been dismissed, this time, the weight of CR7 in decisions could change everything.
Since his arrival, Greenwood has established himself as one of the faces of the Olympian renewal. De Zerbi has made it an indisputable holder, and his services in friendly matches (where he is the top scorer of the team) confirm his importance. Seeing this dossier activate a few days before the recovery logically worries the Marseille management.
Greenwood makes OM tremble, Ronaldo gets involved
An unlikely, but not trivial offensive
Even if a quick sale seems not very possible in view of the player's sporting and emotional investment, the simple fact that his name circulates in the orbit of the Saudi Pro League challenges. And in an unpredictable market, no track can be completely excluded.
It would take an improbable reversal of the situation to see Greenwood packs so early. But in a football where the balance of power changes quickly, Marseille remains suspicious. CR7 continues to act … behind the scenes.
