Mason Greenwood transfer ruled out? 'Looking forward to more' message hints at Barcelona-linked ex-Man Utd forward representing Marseille in the Champions League

The 23-year-old forward enjoyed the most productive campaign of his career to date in 2024-25. On the back of moving to France from Premier League giants Manchester United, Greenwood registered 22 goals and six assists through 36 appearances in all competitions.

His 21 efforts in Ligue 1 were enough to earn a share of Golden Boot honours alongside Champions League winner and Ballon d’Or favourite Ousmane Dembele of Paris Saint-Germain. He also rewrote the history books at Stade Velodrome.

Greenwood’s debut season with Marseille saw him better some club legends, including ex-Chelsea striker Didier Drogba. A collection of match-altering performances helped to deliver Champions League qualification.

Interest is said to have been attracted from across Europe, with La Liga heavyweights Barcelona and Atletico Madrid reportedly keen on the former Getafe loanee, but Marseille have no intention of parting with a player that they have tied to a contract through to 2029.

Marseille have said: "A STUNNING 28 G/A in 36 games in his debut season. Looking forward to more, Mason." That would appear to be a nod towards Greenwood remaining in his current surroundings, with United missing out on the cash boost that a 50 per cent sell-on clause will deliver once any future sale is sanctioned.
