Greenwood left Man Utd in the summer to join Ligue 1 side Marseille for a fee of just €26 million.
This follows the 23-year-old being charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior and assault occasioning actual bodily harm in 2022. A year later, these charges were dropped by police after the withdrawal of a key witness, Greenwood having maintained his innocence throughout the saga.
Manchester United’s regrets
Nevertheless, an internal investigation at Man Utd ruled that he was not a suitable player for the club and he was transferred, first to Getafe on loan, then eventually to Marseille. With the League One club, Greenwood has been in great form on the pitch, scoring five goals in six appearances, and is a source of frustration for the Old Trafford side.
GiveMeSport reports: “ Key figures at Manchester United expected Greenwood to go on to become a £100 million talent after seeing him break into the first team following his progression through the youth ranks, and they remain extremely disappointed at having lost the opportunity to secure a potential nine-figure sum in the future. »
Barcelona interest in Greenwood confirmed
Barcelona continue to be heavily linked with a future move for Greenwood according to various sources. “ Barcelona are interested in offering Greenwood a fast route out of his current environment, with coach Hansi Flick and president Joan Laporta considering an opportunity to bring in a top player with true elite potential at a lower cost »indicates GMS.
It is unclear why Marseille would be willing to part ways with a player who has had so much success in his first weeks at the club at a lower cost, with OM in a strong position to negotiate the player given that he is under contract until 2029.
