Its name resonates at the velodrome like that of a Savior. And yet, something seems to end for Mason Greenwood in Marseille. Top scorer of the club this season, the most decisive player and praised for his ability to make the difference even in weak moments, Greenwood has not escaped the rumors that flourish when approaching the summer transfer window. And for good reason: the end of his Marseille adventure seems to be clearing.
According to information from Telegraphtwo Premier League clubs closely follow the evolution of the Greenwood file. The English international, whose legal proceedings were abandoned two years ago, would be perceived as capable of finding the terrains of the kingdom. After a season of Renaissance in Getafe, Greenwood has established itself as a figure of OM with 19 goals and 4 assists, statistics which earned him to be in the radars from across the Channel. And despite Zerbi's Roberto's desire to see him register over time in Marseille, a departure seems inevitable.
OM coach is full of praise for his attacker: ” Greenwood is a natural talent ”, he said. “I want to help him become complete, whether he is one of the biggest to have played the VĂ©lodrome. »» But behind these laudatory words, points out a form of resignation. The attractiveness of the Premier League and the financial means of English clubs leave little room for optimism for a second season at OM.
Two English clubs ready to jump on Greenwood
Marseille bet big on Greenwood last summer. And its performance proves the Olympian management right. But today, England is calling it again. His profile pleases, his image is being redone, and interested clubs know that they can take advantage of a favorable contractual situation. Marseille will not be able to compete for a long time.
Unless reversed, Greenwood should therefore leave Marseille this summer. His passage, as short as it is, will have marked the club and its supporters. But football goes fast, and OM will already have to think about finding a successor to him. Because yes, for Greenwood in Marseille … it may already be over.
