𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Marseille have reached an agreement with Manchester United to sign Mason Greenwood

Manchester United have made a significant move by agreeing to sell talented striker Mason Greenwood to Marseille in a deal worth £26.7m, including add-ons. As part of the agreement, Manchester United has ensured a substantial sell-on clause, reportedly ranging between 40 and 50 per cent. This signifies the club’s anticipation of Greenwood’s potential success and the possibility of benefiting from his future transfer.

Marseille’s acquisition of Greenwood is a notable step for the French club, as they secure the promising talent and add depth to their offensive lineup. With this transfer, Greenwood has been granted permission to undergo a medical examination and commence discussions about personal terms, indicating the advanced stage of the negotiations.

Greenwood’s recent history includes a loan spell at Getafe, a period during which he sought to further develop his skills and gain valuable experience. However, his time at Manchester United was marred by suspension due to legal issues. The unresolved charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior, and assault led to uncertainty about his future at the club. Despite the Crown Prosecution Service dropping the charges, questions about his long-term prospects with the team surfaced, particularly amidst changes in leadership at Old Trafford following the transition to INEOS’ controllership.

This transfer presents an opportunity for both Mason Greenwood and Marseille, marking a significant chapter in the player’s career and providing Marseille with a potential asset for their squad. As the deal progresses, all eyes will be on the developments surrounding Greenwood’s move to the Ligue 1 club, as well as the impact of his departure on Manchester United’s forward line.
