Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly monitoring the progress of 22-year-old controversial English forward Mason Greenwood.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on HITC Football, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain are still interested in signing Mason Greenwood. The three European bigwigs are closely monitoring the performances of the Marseille forward. Meanwhile, Manchester United are tracking the controversial English attacker’s situation, albeit not with the intention of re-signing him.
Mason Greenwood and his journey so far
Mason Greenwood has resurrected his fortunes since returning from a hiatus due to issues off the pitch. The Englishman has been a divisive figure in football since his abhorrent actions came to light two and a half years ago, leading to his arrest and subsequent criminal procedures.
The 22-year-old did not play for Manchester United after January 2022, with the Red Devils loaning him to Getafe last year after he was cleared to return. Greenwood enjoyed a solid campaign with the Spanish club before completing a permanent transfer worth £30 million to Marseille this past summer.
The controversial English attacker has hit the ground running at the Ligue 1 club, contributing to six goals in four Ligue 1 outings thus far by finding the back of the net five times and providing one assist. Meanwhile, Mason Greenwood’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain.
A man in demand
Barcelona and Real Madrid tracked the performances of Mason Greenwood in the last 12 months but did not launch the offensive to secure his services in the summer transfer window. The continued interest in the controversial attacker is understandable, as he can be a top-notch addition to their offensive departments.
Greenwood will be a cheaper alternative to Nico Williams for Barcelona, while Real Madrid can add another option to a stacked attack. As for PSG, the former Manchester United prodigy can fill Kylian Mbappe’s void after the Frenchman completed a Bosman move to Real Madrid this past summer.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are keeping tabs on Mason Greenwood’s situation. The Red Devils do not want to re-sign the 22-year-old but will have a close eye on a future move as they hold a 50 per cent sell-on clause in the deal that took him to Marseille for £30 million.
