Mason Greenwood, the 23-year-old forward, has unexpectedly attracted attention from a surprising team ahead of a possible transfer next summer. After spending 12 years with Manchester United, Greenwood made a move to Marseille this past summer. His exit from Old Trafford came after a turbulent period in his career, but now he seems to be getting back on track.
Greenwood’s time at Manchester United came to an end following legal issues that saw him charged with serious criminal offenses in 2022. Although those charges were later dropped, the negative impact on his reputation remained significant. In an effort to rebuild his career,
Greenwood secured a loan move to Getafe in the second half of last season. During that period, he impressed by showing flashes of his immense potential, and he has continued his strong form since joining Marseille.
In just his first seven appearances for the French side, Greenwood has found the back of the net five times, demonstrating his ability to perform at a high level.
As a result, the forward has started to restore his reputation as one of the most promising young talents in European football. His performances have caught the eye of various clubs, including those in the Premier League, as rumors surrounding his future intensify.
One of the more unexpected developments in Greenwood’s situation is the reported interest from Liverpool. According to sources such as *Fichajes*, Liverpool manager Arne Slot is closely monitoring Greenwood’s progress at Marseille with an eye on a potential transfer next summer.
Slot reportedly views the 23-year-old as a valuable addition to his squad, potentially filling the number 10 role. Liverpool’s apparent interest in Greenwood could lead to a significant offer during the next transfer window.
However, the prospect of Greenwood returning to England—especially to a high-profile club like Liverpool—remains controversial. Although he was cleared of the charges against him, the nature of the allegations has left a stain on his reputation, and many fans in England have not forgotten. Should Greenwood make a return to the Premier League, he would likely face hostile receptions at grounds across the country.
Liverpool, in particular, could face backlash from supporters due to Greenwood’s history and the fact that he spent his formative years at one of their biggest rivals, Manchester United.
Despite Slot’s apparent admiration for the player, the situation presents a major risk for Liverpool. Greenwood’s past controversies could spark a media firestorm and create a divisive atmosphere among the club’s fanbase.
Even though Barcelona has also been linked with Greenwood, suggesting there are teams willing to overlook his past for the sake of his footballing talent, Liverpool might find it wise to avoid becoming entangled in a saga that could harm their reputation.
