Enthusiastic about the idea of recruiting Mason Greenwood, Olympique de Marseille is encountering difficulties on this issue. Without talking about discussions with the different parties, the club led by Pablo Longoria must deal with the anger of certain supporters who are campaigning against the signing of the English striker.
Things have started to get serious for Olympique de Marseille. Even though we are still waiting for the official announcement, the agreement in principle with coach Roberto De Zerbi has undoubtedly unblocked the situation in the transfer window. The Marseille club can finally make concrete progress on certain issues. While midfielder Ismaël Koné arrives from Watford, the Olympique management is also working on the Mason Greenwood track.
OM fears the reception of supporters
The striker under contract until 2025 has still not been retained by Manchester United. And the 22-year-old Englishman seems ready to try his luck at Olympique de Marseille. However, the operation is proving complicated according to the newspaper L’Equipe. Without mentioning the negotiations with the different parties, the sports daily highlights the reaction of some supporters after the first rumors. Very quickly, Marseille fans expressed themselves on social networks in order to campaign against the signing of Mason Greenwood.
In question, the past of the Mancunian who, in 2022, had been accused of attempted rape and assault by his partner, who had finally dropped the charges. However, his photos published on the internet were shocking. So much so that a return to Manchester United, his training club, and more generally to England seems impossible today. Obviously, this affair also risks preventing his transfer to Olympique de Marseille. It would be a hard blow for president Pablo Longoria, deprived of a versatile striker revived during his loan to Getafe last season (10 goals and 6 assists in all competitions).
