Olympique Marseille has agreed to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United. The recruitment will be completed after the player's consent is completed.
England's The Athletic agreed with Manchester United to sign Greenwood on the 9th (Korea time), but the player's approval still remains for the proposed transfer. With the deal, Marseille and Manchester United agreed to a fixed transfer fee of 27.6 million euros (about 41.4 billion won) and a bonus provision of 4 million euros (about 6 billion won). Manchester United could also receive a large chunk of its future Greenwood sale, it reported.
Greenwood is the most talented player of all time that Manchester United has cherished. A young player born in 2001 showed extraordinary potential by scoring 10 goals in the league from the 2019-2020 season. Greenwood was considered exceptional for his ability to score since he was young. Both-footed shooting ability, shooting trajectory, and shooting timing were already overwhelming at the adult level.

From the 2020-2021 season, he gradually began to stand out on the first-team stage as he went through the process of jumping from Manchester United to the starting lineup. Another advantage of Greenwood was that he could play both right wingers and strikers. Manchester United looked forward to the birth of a new star by passing on legend Ryan Giggs' number 11 to Greenwood.
However, Greenwood ruined his career in the 2021-2022 season by himself. During the season, Greenwood shocked the world when he was arrested by police on charges of sexual assault and assault on his girlfriend. United immediately removed Greenwood from the squad. The UK prosecutor's office investigated for more than a year, but all lawsuits were dropped after her girlfriend and her family did not cooperate with the prosecutor's investigation.

Manchester United tried to return Greenwood, but public opinion was so bad that they eventually decided to part ways with the player. If Greenwood had been released without charge, he could have broken through public opinion and returned the player, but it was not in that situation, so Greenwood had no choice but to leave Manchester United.
Greenwood, who resumed his career at Getafe after nearly two years, played immediately. Getafe showed an outstanding performance enough to become the Player of the Year. Still, Manchester United decided to sell Greenwood.

'Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Napoli have been tracking Greenwood in recent months, but Marseille is the front in the recruiting race,' The Athletic reported. Marseille can take a player once he has agreed with Greenwood.
Manchester United demanded that Greenwood receive a significant stake in the transfer fee incurred when he moves from Marseille to another club, instead of sending the all-time talented player for a low price of 27.6 million euros. The level demanded by Manchester United is known to be about 40 to 50%. Marseille seems to have accepted Manchester United's request as well.
Marseille has decided to sign Greenwood, who has a serious privacy controversy, but there has been constant criticism outside the club.

Fans have been divided since the news that Marseille is aiming for Greenwood emerged. Foote, a French local newspaper that delivers the news of Marseille, cited a report from France's L'Equipe that the recruitment of Greenwood became complicated. Greenwood recruitment does not please everyone. It's already splitting fans apart,' it reported.
Made in Foote says 'Some of the fans are not welcoming Greenwood. Negotiations are not progressing accordingly. Marseille fans even made a hashtag 'Welcome to Greenwood' to protest the club. Despite fans' opposition, Marseille pushed to the end to recruit Greenwood.

Now, pressure is also coming from the political circle. Marseille Mayor Benoit Payan "Greenwood's actions cannot be put into words, nor are they acceptable. I saw a picture of him assaulting his wife and it was so shocking. Abuse of his wife in this way is unaffordable and he should not have a place in Marseille," he said, publicly criticizing Greenwood's recruitment.
He said "The value that the Marseille club is pursuing is different from that. It's a shame. Will ask Marseille Chairman Pablo Longoria not to recruit Greenwood. I don't want the club I support to be covered by the shame of hitting his wife," he continued, adding, "I don't want it to be covered by the shame of hitting his wife."
Despite growing criticism of Greenwood's recruitment, Marseille decided to push ahead with the recruitment. The agreement between the clubs has already been reached, so only negotiations with the players remain.
Marcelo coach Robert DeGerbi added: "I am confident that Greenwood is a world-class player. I don't know about the background of the player. But I treat any player like my child if he comes to the team. I always protect the player. I will save Greenwood if he wears a Marseille uniform."

Meanwhile, attention is focusing on whether Marseille will recruit Hwang Hee-chan after completing the recruitment of Greenwood. Marseille is also targeting Hwang Hee-chan. France's L'Equipe said on the 4th that Hwang Hee-chan, the Korean national striker, is on the list of strikers recognized by Marseille's management and verified by coach De Zerby. He is a player who has been unanimously agreed to recruit him, according to the report.
Both Longoria's club president and De Gerby want to recruit Hwang Hee-chan. The media also says that just like Greenwood in Manchester United, Hwang Hee-chan, 28, is highly appreciated by the management of the Marseille club. Chairman Longoria has already approached Hwang Hee-chan in 2020. Director De Gerby also likes Hwang Hee-chan's intense style. We have verified him through a face-off in Brighton.
It costs a lot of money to recruit Greenwood, but Hwang Hee-chan is never an affordable player. There is no reason for Wolverhampton to send Hwang Hee-chan at a bargain price. It's a question of how much Marseille wants Hwang Hee-chan.
