Liverpool Linked with Controversial €80M Move for Marseille’s Mason Greenwood

Liverpool FC have been sensationally linked with a potential €80M summer transfer bid for Marseille striker Mason Greenwood, according to a report by Fichajes. The 23-year-old Englishman, who has netted an impressive 18 goals in the 2024/25 Ligue 1 season, has caught the eye after a strong start at the French club. Greenwood, a former Manchester United academy star, joined Marseille in July 2024 for €31.6M following a loan spell at Getafe, after leaving United amid controversy over assault allegations in 2022, which were later dropped.

The rumor has sparked significant backlash from Liverpool fans, with many dismissing the claim as “slander” and questioning Fichajes’ reliability. Supporters expressed outrage, citing Greenwood’s off-field history as incompatible with the club’s values, with some even calling for legal action against the outlet for spreading unverified claims.
Liverpool, known for targeting young, high-potential players under Fenway Sports Group’s cautious spending strategy, have not been linked to Greenwood by credible sources like Sky Sports or Fabrizio Romano. As the summer window approaches, the Reds’ focus appears to remain on defensive reinforcements rather than controversial attacking options.
