Mason Greenwood has attracted interest from an unexpected team as he approaches a potential summer transfer.
After ending his 12-year stint with Manchester United, the 23-year-old signed with Marseille over the summer.
Following a successful loan at Getafe last season, Greenwood has continued his strong form in France, scoring five goals in his first seven matches, and is on track to regain his status as one of Europe’s top young forwards.
Liverpool is reportedly considering a controversial move for Greenwood, as Roberto De Zerbi’s number 10 is drawing attention from Premier League clubs. According to Fichajes, Arne Slot’s Liverpool is monitoring Greenwood’s progress at the Stade Velodrome in anticipation of a possible significant offer next summer.
Even though he was eventually cleared, the serious nature of the criminal charges against Greenwood in 2022 makes a return to England seem highly unlikely.
Liverpool should avoid pursuing him, as the striker would likely face hostile reactions nationwide if he were to play for an English club again.
While Slot is believed to hold the controversial forward in high regard, he certainly isn’t the only manager who thinks this, as shown by Barcelona’s recent interest.
From Liverpool’s standpoint, Greenwood’s past, along with his association as a former player of a major rival, means that even a hint of interest would only intensify a situation they would be wise to avoid.
