Mason Greenwood is attracting attention from a surprising team ahead of a potential summer transfer.
After spending 12 years with Manchester United, the 23-year-old moved to Marseille this summer. Following a successful loan stint with Getafe in the latter part of last season, Greenwood has continued his strong form in France, scoring five goals in just seven appearances and rebuilding his reputation as one of Europe’s brightest young forwards.
Liverpool reportedly considering controversial Greenwood move
His impressive performances have drawn interest, with reports suggesting that Arne Slot’s Liverpool are monitoring Greenwood’s progress at Marseille, possibly preparing a significant summer bid, according to Fichajes.
Although Greenwood was later cleared of the criminal charges brought against him in 2022, a return to English football seems unlikely due to the controversy surrounding the case.
Caution urged for Liverpool
If Greenwood were to join an English club again, he would likely face hostile receptions across the country. While Slot is said to rate him highly, he’s not the only manager with that view—Barcelona have also been linked with the forward.
However, given Greenwood’s past and his connection to one of Liverpool’s biggest rivals, even considering a move for him could fuel controversy that Liverpool would be wise to avoid.
