Mason Greenwood could end up at Atletico Madrid

Atlético de Madrid

The name of Greenwood is not unfamiliar to the Madrid sporting directorate. The English player had already been tracked during his time at Getafe, where he played on loan from Manchester United before heading to Marseille.

According to reports coming from Turkey, the Atletico would plan to meet with the player's circle, a move that the Olympique de Marseille would be aware of. In the French club they believe they may be forced to sell one of their key pieces this summer to balance their financial situation.

The operation, in any case, would not be straightforward. Marseille paid 26 million euros for Greenwood, while Manchester United retained an important percentage of his rights, around 40%. That split would shape any future negotiations.

Roma and Fenerbahce also ask about the forward

The interest is not limited to Atletico. Fenerbahce and Roma have also sounded out the situation of the player, although the appearance of the Rojiblanco side could change the picture. From Turkey, they point out that Greenwood would look favorably on joining the Atletico project if the option takes shape.

The next step, always according to those reports, would be the player's approval. If Greenwood were to accept the Atletico route, it would be the moment to open talks with Marseille, who are already aware of the moves around the forward.

The forward, aged 24, has signed 37 goals and 13 assists in 66 Ligue 1 matches with the French club. That output strengthens his sporting value, although the French club's need to sell keeps the possibility of an exit open during this transfer window.
