Marseille Break Silence on Mason Greenwood's Future Amid Saudi Transfer Rumours
Marseille break silence on Greenwood future

Olympique de Marseille have broken their silence regarding the future of Mason Greenwood, as speculation mounts over a potential move to Saudi Arabia for the former Manchester United striker.

The 22-year-old forward, who left Old Trafford earlier this summer, has been linked with clubs across Europe and the Middle East. However, recent reports suggest Saudi Pro League sides are leading the race for his signature.

Marseille's Official Statement

In a brief but telling statement, Marseille's sporting director Pablo Longoria said: "We're aware of the rumours, but we won't comment on speculation regarding players under contract elsewhere." This carefully worded response has done little to dampen transfer talk.

Greenwood's Career Crossroads

After his controversial exit from Manchester United, Greenwood finds himself at a career crossroads. The talented forward hasn't played competitive football since January 2022 but remains one of English football's most intriguing free agents.

Sources close to the player suggest he's considering all options carefully, with financial packages from Saudi Arabia reportedly exceeding £10 million per year.

What This Means for Marseille

While Marseille haven't ruled out a move, their cautious statement suggests they may be preparing fans for disappointment. The French club had been considered frontrunners for Greenwood's signature before Saudi interest emerged.

With the transfer window entering its final weeks, all eyes remain on where this prodigious talent will resurrect his career.
