Asian champions offer to buy Greenwood for record price

Olympique Marseille have received a €70 million offer from Al-Ahli (Saudi Arabia) for Mason Greenwood.

Greenwood is being eyed by Al Ahli.

If all goes well, Marseille will have made the most expensive player sale in history, breaking the record held by Michy Batshuayi, when the Belgian striker joined Chelsea for 39 million euros.

However, according to Fichajes, this deal is not simple. According to the agreement signed with MU, Marseille will only keep 50% of the money from selling Greenwood, the rest will belong to the "Red Devils". This makes the French team's leadership have to consider carefully.

The English striker had an explosive 2024/25 season in Ligue 1, scoring 21 goals and providing 5 assists in 34 matches, contributing greatly to Marseille's second place in the domestic league.

Greenwood joined Marseille from Manchester United in July 2024 and quickly became a mainstay in coach Roberto De Zerbi's style of play. However, some rumors suggest that Greenwood is having problems with his coaching staff and teammates. However, his impressive form has attracted the attention of many big clubs, especially Al-Ahli, the current champions of the AFC Champions League Elite.

If he comes to Al Ahli, Greenwood will meet some colleagues who have played in the Premier League such as Ivan Toney, Riyadh Mahrez, Roberto Firmino, Edouard Mendy.

Greenwood's future at Marseille remains uncertain. Al-Ahli could be the next destination if the parties reach an agreement, while Marseille are considering whether to keep their number one star or accept a sale to reinvest in the squad.
