Mason Greenwood will not move during the winter transfer window. But behind the scenes, Olympique de Marseille is already preparing for a scorching summer. Since his arrival at Canebière, the English winger has established himself as the team’s main offensive detonatorin Ligue 1 as on the European scene.
Capable of making differences at a very high level, Greenwood has been supporting the Marseille attack for over a year. Without the heavy extra-sporting liabilities that still surround his image, the former Manchester United prodigy would probably have already returned to the Premier League.

A future being written in La Liga
For now, a return to England always seems trickydespite the player’s undeniable qualities and his ambition to return to the English selection for the World Cup. It is therefore towards Spain that all eyes are turning.

Atlético on the lookout for a long time
The Colchoneros have been following Greenwood since his notable stint at Getafeand had already tried their luck in the summer of 2024. But OM then got ahead of the competition with a particularly advantageous financial package with Manchester United.
According to TransfersPablo Longoria knows full well that it will be very difficult to retain his best offensive element next summer. Especially since Manchester United still retain rights to the playerwhich pushes Marseille to be extremely firm in the negotiations.
Atlético Madrid are seriouslydiscussing Mason Greenwood as a potential long-term attacking option.
With uncertainty surrounding Antoine Griezmann’s future
Atlético are understood to be willing to go big financially with figures close to €100m being mentioned.#Athletes #Transfers— Daily Transfer News (@storme_bro4052) December 26, 2025
€100 million or nothing
The message sent by the Olympian management is clear: only an offer of 100 million euros can open the door to a departure. A colossal amount, assumed by Pablo Longoria, who considers Greenwood to be on par with the biggest European stars.
Such a sum would break all records. OM have never sold a player at this price, and no transaction has reached this threshold in Ligue 1. The current record belongs to Neymar, transferred for €90 million in 2023
