Marseille Overview

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Ole Book has shifted the club’s transfer strategy, cooling interest in a permanent move for Jadon Sancho to prioritise a creative playmaker. The German side are eyeing 19-year-old Arsenal starlet Ethan Nwaneri – currently on loan at Marseille – as the ideal successor to Julian Brandt, though a high valuation remains a significant hurdle.

Roma are reportedly plotting an ambitious summer move for Marseille forward Mason Greenwood. However, the Italian side face immense hurdles to complete the deal, including a massive price tag, a hefty sell-on clause retained by his former club Manchester United, and the absolute necessity of securing Champions League qualification on the final day of the Serie A season.

Mason Greenwood has clarified his stance on his Marseille future after being named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year at the UNFP awards ceremony. Despite a tumultuous collective campaign for the French giants and reported interest from major European clubs, the forward delivered a definitive message regarding his intentions at the Orange Velodrome.

Mason Greenwood is being tipped to attract interest from “quite a few clubs” as exit doors begin to swing open at Marseille, with Chris Waddle telling GOAL why the ex-Manchester United forward has been a “definite success” in France. The one-cap England international moved to Stade Velodrome in the summer of 2024 and has delivered under immense pressure.
