Mason Greenwood is reportedly attracting attention from four of Europeโs top clubs after his standout performances at Marseille. The 22-year-old, who left Manchester United following a successful loan stint at Getafe during the 2023/24 season, has made an instant impact at his new club, scoring five goals in his first four league matches.
Greenwood initially parted ways with Manchester United in 2022 after being dropped from the squad due to allegations of attempted rape, assault, and coercive behavior. While the charges were later dropped, the controversy surrounding his departure lingered.
Now, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich are said to be monitoring Greenwood closely, according to journalist Graeme Bailey. Both Spanish giants reportedly considered moves for the forward this past summer but ultimately prioritized other targets.
Manchester United, despite letting Greenwood leave, have included a significant sell-on clause of between 40 and 50 percent in his Marseille deal, meaning they could benefit financially if he secures a high-profile transfer in the future. However, they currently have no plans to activate a buyback clause also inserted into the contract.
Roberto De Zerbi, who played a key role in Greenwoodโs transfer to Marseille, has praised the playerโs impressive form and work ethic. The coach expressed his satisfaction with Greenwoodโs performances, emphasizing the forwardโs potential for further improvement.
Rumors have also surfaced that Greenwood is preparing to make a return to international football, this time representing Jamaica instead of England, after a lifeline was reportedly offered by Steve McClaren.
In the meantime, Manchester United have shifted their focus elsewhere, with reports suggesting that they are interested in re-signing former player Angel Gomes, now at Lille, and targeting Norwegian prospect Sverre Nypan for a potential January move.
