Barcelona Reignite Interest in Mason Greenwood Amid Marseille’s Sell-On Clause Details
Barcelona have once again set their sights on Mason Greenwood, renewing their interest in the former Manchester United forward after new details emerged about his sell-on clause at Marseille. Reports indicate that the Catalan club, alongside Paris Saint-Germain, is closely monitoring his situation, with a potential summer move in the works.
