In 2024, Olympique de Marseille has decided to bet on Mason Greenwood. Despite his sulphurous past, the Englishman convinced the residents of the Orange Vélodrome, who gave him a special place. Last year, the former Manchester United player finished his first year under his new colors with a record of 22 goals and 6 assists in 36 appearances in all competitions. He contributed greatly to his team’s qualification for the 2025-26 Champions League campaign.

A competition in which Greenwood scored three goals and provided an assist. This was insufficient to qualify OM, who fell by the wayside in the championship phase. Which was a disappointment for the Bradford native, who also had to digest the departure of Roberto De Zerbi. Despite this, he continues on his merry way. After 38 appearances in all competitions this season, he has 25 goals and 8 assists.

Greenwood goal for Juve

He is currently the top scorer in the French championship with 15 goals. But it is not certain that the Englishman, who can also represent Jamaica, will still be there next year. Under contract until 2027 with the Olympians, he logically arouses desire all over the Old Continent and around the world. His name has regularly been mentioned by Saudi Arabia. This Tuesday, a great European player is cited as a contender for his signature. La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that Juventus have ticked off the name of Mason Greenwood, who has been tracked since 2024.

The Old Lady, who wants to treat herself to a facelift this summer, is won over. In the event of OM’s non-qualification for the next C1, Juve believes that it will have arguments to convince the player and his club. A club with which the Piedmontese have good relations. They notably dealt with Timothy Weah last summer. Monday, Tuttosport revealed an interest from Marseille in Jonathan David, which Juventus will not retain. Ditto for Edon Zhegrova, whom the Phocaeans wanted last summer. He too will not be retained in Turin. This could lower the price of Greenwood, estimated at €50 million. A sum considered high by the Italians, who do not necessarily have a lot of means, but who also know that Manchester United will receive a percentage on a possible resale of the Englishman.
