Greenwood Transfer to Marseille Faces Major Setback

The potential Greenwood transfer to Marseille is now facing significant opposition. The June 2024 transfer window move for Mason Greenwood to the French Ligue 1 side Marseille might be stopped according to recent reports. The mayor of Marseille has expressed strong disapproval, calling the transfer a “disgrace.”

Marseille is currently in a tough spot. The club is negotiating with Manchester United over a potential Greenwood transfer, estimated to be worth over £20 million. However, Greenwood’s controversial past is causing major concerns.

The English forward previously faced charges of attempted rape, assault, and coercive and controlling behavior. Although these charges were dropped in February 2023, Manchester United decided not to reintegrate Greenwood into their first team after conducting a thorough six-month investigation into his off-pitch conduct.

As the situation develops, it remains uncertain whether Greenwood will join Marseille or if the mounting opposition will halt the transfer. The controversy surrounding Greenwood continues to generate significant public and media attention.
