Mason Greenwood loses key team-mate at Marseille despite Champions League finish as winger joins Inter Milan in €25m deal

According to Fabrizio Romano, Henrique has completed his move after several rounds of negotiations. The deal included face-to-face talks between Inter president Beppe Marotta and Marseille chief Pablo Longoria. The Brazilian winger has signed a five-year contract and is expected to be part of Inter’s squad for the upcoming Club World Cup.

Henrique played a key role in securing a Champions League spot for the Ligue 1 club. The 23-year-old winger featured in 35 matches across all competitions, providing nine goals and 10 assists. However, things weren’t entirely smooth behind the scenes. Reports emerged of a rift between Mason Greenwood, Henrique, and the Marseille management. While Sporting Director Mehdi Benatia publicly dismissed the claims, tensions spilled over to the stands as fans displayed banners reading 'Greenwood Henrique, bougez vous!' ('Greenwood, Henrique, get moving!').

Former Manchester United starlet Greenwood, who was reportedly involved in the dressing room tensions, has dismissed rumours suggesting he wanted to leave Marseille. After securing a Champions League spot, the forward said: "I hope to be here next year for the Champions League. All the other players tell me the stadium is something special. I think it's been a very positive season. We've reached our objective."

Greenwood added: "Not a lot of people get to experience that kind of thing here. With all my teammates and coaches, I would like to thank them all."

With Henrique’s departure, Greenwood is expected to become the focal point of Marseille’s attack next season. The ex-United forward enjoyed a standout debut campaign, scoring 21 goals and being named the joint-top scorer with PSG's Ousmane Dembele.
