Recent reports indicate that Marseille is in talks with Manchester United regarding Mason Greenwood.
The French club, now under the stewardship of Roberto de Zerbi, has entered into discussions with United regarding the 22-year-old forward.
This move comes amidst a competitive landscape with other prominent clubs like Juventus, Napoli, Valencia, and Benfica also eyeing Greenwood.
Napoli has shown interest but balks at Greenwood’s reported £30 million price tag, particularly since he could negotiate a pre-contract in January.
Meanwhile, Lazio, who previously considered signing Greenwood, maintains active discussions with United, indicating sustained interest in securing his services.
Sources within Manchester United indicate that Greenwood’s potential departure is more advanced compared to Jadon Sancho’s situation.
The club is actively seeking buyers for both players as part of their strategic overhaul in the transfer market.
Greenwood’s recent playing history has been turbulent; his last appearance for United was in January 2022.
Subsequently, he faced legal issues, including charges that were later dropped by February 2023.
Initially intending to reintegrate Greenwood into the squad, United faced significant fan backlash, prompting a change in plans.
As a result, Greenwood signed with Getafe on the transfer deadline day in September.
With Greenwood’s contract expiring next summer, Manchester United faces crucial decisions regarding his future amidst ongoing negotiations with interested parties.
