'We do not accept mercenaries' - Lazio president aims another brutal dig at Mason Greenwood after missing out on signing forward from Man Utd

Lotito has taken another shot at Greenwood, just three months after he called the 23-year-old out over his failed move to Lazio. The Italian side were unsuccessful in their attempt to sign the forward from United last year, and found themselves unable to compete as an auction broke out for him in the most recent transfer window.

Ligue 1 side Marseille won the battle to sign Greenwood and, after some initial furore over the move, they haven't looked back. He has scored five goals in seven league appearances and won Marseille's Player of the Month award in August.

Lotito called Greenwood a "mercenary" in his most recent attack, saying: "He is absolutely not a regret, someone who does not accept coming to Lazio cannot be a regret. He is happy at Marseille, he made a choice and that is fine. We do not accept mercenaries, we only want those who choose Lazio. We have had enough mercenaries."

Greenwood appears settled at Marseille, although his recent goal drought has caused some concern. He'll be action on Sunday when Roberto De Zerbi's side visit Montpellier.
