PSG Want Mason Greenwood in €70M Transfer Swoop as Marseille Open Door.
Mason Greenwood is one of the most wanted men in Europe — and now PSG want him next. The 23-year-old has just wrapped up a phenomenal first season at Marseille, smashing in 19 Ligue 1 goals and helping propel the club back into the Champions League. But despite his breakout form, Greenwood’s future in the south of France is anything but certain.
Now, Paris Saint-Germain are circling.
Sources close to the French champions say Luis Campos, PSG’s highly influential sporting advisor, has made Greenwood one of his priority targets this summer — and Marseille are reportedly ready to sell.
Greenwood’s Comeback Season
Once considered untouchable at Manchester United, Greenwood’s career took a dramatic detour in 2023. After his departure from Old Trafford, few expected him to bounce back the way he has.
But in Marseille, he’s done just that. With 19 league goals, Greenwood has proven himself one of Ligue 1’s most lethal forwards — second only to PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé in the Golden Boot race.
Still, the fit hasn’t been seamless. Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi has been openly critical of Greenwood’s defensive work, and some supporters have questioned his attitude.
The result? Greenwood is now on the market — and PSG are watching closely.
Marseille Open to €70M — Man United to Cash In
According to French media reports, Marseille are prepared to sell Greenwood for €70 million (£59 million). That figure might seem steep, but PSG — flush with Qatari backing — can easily afford it.
Even more intriguing? Manchester United would benefit too. The Red Devils are entitled to 50% of any profit from Greenwood’s sale, due to a smartly negotiated sell-on clause in last summer’s deal. A transfer at that price would net United around £16–20 million, money INEOS is keen to reinvest into a squad rebuild.
Why PSG Want Greenwood
With Kylian Mbappé all but confirmed to be leaving, PSG are hunting for their next attacking leader. Greenwood’s pace, precision, and ability to operate across the front three make him a near-perfect fit for Luis Enrique’s fluid system.
Luis Campos, who helped build world-class sides at Monaco and Lille, reportedly sees Greenwood as a bargain relative to his ceiling.
And the French media is beginning to agree.
“You can’t ignore Greenwood this season,” said Daniel Riolo, veteran pundit on After Foot RMC. “He’s been decisive, clinical, and has adapted to French football remarkably fast. He’s proven he belongs at the top level.”
A Deal That Could Ignite a Firestorm
If PSG sign Greenwood, it won’t just be a transfer — it’ll be a spark in a football powder keg.
Marseille and PSG are fierce rivals, and player movement between the clubs is extremely rare. Greenwood, who has become a fan favorite at the Vélodrome, would likely face fury from OM ultras if he swapped blue for rouge et bleu.
“He goes to Paris, and it’s over. No forgiveness,” one Marseille supporter told La Provence. “You don’t wear our shirt and then theirs.”
From PSG’s point of view, the appeal is obvious: they weaken a direct rival while filling a major gap up front. But for Marseille, it would be a bitter pill to swallow.
🇪🇸 Barca & Atletico Still in the Picture
Greenwood’s resurgence hasn’t gone unnoticed in Spain. Barcelona and Atlético Madrid have both shown interest, with Barca in particular said to admire his versatility and composure in big games.
Two Premier League clubs are also believed to be considering moves, though Greenwood’s representatives reportedly prefer a quieter, more stable environment — something La Liga or Ligue 1 may better provide.
Marseille’s Gamble, PSG’s Opportunity
Letting go of your top scorer just before a Champions League return is a risk. But for Marseille, the money talks — and PSG are ready to write the cheque.
Greenwood, once sidelined and seemingly finished, could now become the new face of the Parc des Princes. From exile to elite, this may be the biggest redemption arc in European football.
