He is undoubtedly the recruit most impatiently awaited by Olympique de Marseille supporters. Already decisive since his arrival, Mason Greenwood has seen his market value increase after a successful debut.
Olympique de Marseille have decided to stop laughing and have gone all out on the transfer market this summer to rebuild a squad capable of performing well in Ligue 1 after last year’s disappointing eighth place. Among the numerous summer arrivals of the Marseille club, Maison Greenwood is the one that has attracted the most attention. The English striker from Manchester United was recruited for around 25 million euros plus bonuses of eight million for a five-season contract at Canebière, despite his troubles with the law two years ago. A significant investment but assumed by Pablo Longoria during his induction press conference. Already decisive with five goals scored and an assist in seven championship matches, Greenwood has exploded the Vélodrome in more than one way, but OM emerges as the main winner of his signing on an economic level.
Greenwood, a rising market value at OM
Performances that do not go unnoticed sportingly but above all economically. According to several football business specialists such as Transfermarkt, Football Transfers or the football observatory (CIES), the market value of Mason Greenwood (23 years old) is currently between 32 and 46 million euros, a sum already higher to what the Marseille management had to pay to attract the young Englishman into their nets. In other words, OM are already benefiting from Greenwood’s promising start, and the fact that he is still under contract for four and a half years reinforces the idea that this figure can still increase. Pablo Longoria has mentioned in recent weeks a three-year project and intends to build in the medium term with the former Getafe man. Nevertheless, the idea of making a nice added value may begin to cross the mind of management, even if 50% of the amount of a future sale will be paid to the Red Devils, who are also aware of the potential of their former nugget.
