Cristiano Ronaldo is interested in a key player from OM. A news that could upset the Phocaean transfer window.

Last summer, Olympique de Marseille made a daring bet by recruiting Mason Greenwood. In difficulty in Manchester United and faced with personal problems, the English striker was not guaranteed to succeed in Marseille. However, his first season thwarted the forecasts: at only 23 years old, Greenwood scored 22 goals, largely contributing to the return of OM in the Champions League after a white year in the European Cup.

But this summer, competition promises to be tough at OM. President Pablo Longoria has strengthened the attack with the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Igor Paixao, while Timothy Weah should soon join the workforce. In this context, Greenwood may have to review his place in the Marseille club.

According to Marcaa very particular interest manifests itself in Saudi Arabia: Cristiano Ronaldo would like to recruit Mason Greenwood. The Portuguese striker, who plays in Al-Nassr, would be convinced that Greenwood could help him conquer the Saudi championship that he supervised in Ligue 1.

OM made its decision

The Spanish media recalls that Mason Greenwood had already been asked last summer by clubs from the Saudi Pro League, an invitation he had refused. A priori, the situation should remain the same this summer. After Foot transfer windowOM wishes to keep its attacker, who does not plan to leave the club for the moment.

The case is therefore to be followed closely, while the transfer window gets carried away. Inter Milan's interest in Mason Greenwood, revealed by the CORRIERE DELLO SPORTadds a new dimension to this already very hot folder. The battle for the English striker promises to be intense in the coming weeks.
