Liverpool Plot Shocking €80M Move for Ex-Man United Star Mason Greenwood
In what could become one of the most dramatic transfers in Premier League history, Liverpool are reportedly preparing an €80 million (£62 million) bid to sign Mason Greenwood from Olympique de Marseille. The move comes as the Reds aim to strengthen their attacking lineup amid uncertainty surrounding key players.
Greenwood, now 23, has found new life in France, scoring 15 goals and delivering 3 assists in 25 appearances for Marseille this season. His resurgence under Roberto De Zerbi has caught the eye of major European clubs, including Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Juventus.
Liverpool’s interest is especially striking given Greenwood’s past with their fiercest rivals, Manchester United. He departed Old Trafford in 2024 after both parties mutually agreed to part ways following the dropping of legal charges against him. Greenwood later joined Marseille for £26.6 million and quickly established himself as a crucial part of their attack.
Manager Arne Slot is reportedly keen on Greenwood’s ability to play anywhere across the front three, seeing him as an ideal fit to address Liverpool’s attacking inconsistencies—particularly with Salah’s future still uncertain and Darwin Núñez’s form under scrutiny.
Negotiations could be complex. Marseille have priced Greenwood at €75 million, and any transfer is expected to include a sell-on clause that would benefit Manchester United. Beyond financials, the symbolic weight of a former United player potentially wearing Liverpool red could spark strong reactions from both sets of supporters.
As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on whether Liverpool push forward with this bold and controversial move—one that could significantly alter their attacking force and fuel one of the most talked-about storylines in recent memory.
