Olympique Marseille are seriously considering the recruitment of controversial Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood.
According to The Athletic UK, the Marseille club has reportedly started preliminary discussions with the player’s entourage with a view to a transfer this summer. For the moment, discussions have not yet addressed the transfer price, but Greenwood has already established good contacts with OM management.
This story sparked mixed reactions among Marseille supporters, with some openly expressing their opposition to his arrival. The hashtag #Greenwoodnotwelcome was thus launched on social networks by fans to express their potential discontent with this planned transfer.
At 22 years old, the England international is estimated at around 40 million euros by Manchester United. Despite his undeniable talent on the field, Greenwood carries past controversy, including domestic violence charges that were later dropped.
For OM, the arrival of Greenwood would represent a sporting gamble coupled with a media and moral challenge, given the player’s controversial past. The club will have to carefully evaluate all aspects before making a final decision on this potential acquisition that could mark the summer transfer window.
