The summer transfer window has been open for several weeks, and Olympique de Marseille is making headlines. The club is under UEFA’s watch and must sell to avoid exclusion from European competitions. While Mason Greenwood’s future dominates discussions, another key player may be on his way out.
After a disastrous season, no one at Marseille is safe. Missing Champions League qualification already forced budget cuts, but UEFA’s warning has made it urgent. New sporting director Grégory Lorenzi is working hard to navigate this crucial summer.
Greenwood can leave OM
Everyone is talking about Mason Greenwood. The 24-year-old winger, Marseille’s top scorer for the past two seasons, appears set to depart. Fenerbahçe and especially AS Roma are keen. Negotiations with Roma are advanced, but recently a chill set in. OM reportedly disliked Roma’s approach of contacting the player directly without prior club notification.
Højbjerg also on his way out?
While the Greenwood deal stalls, another could progress. Atalanta wants to convince Pierre-Emile Højbjerg to leave Marseille. He is the priority for new sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, who previously tried to sign him for Juventus. The door is open. OM has agreed to let the Danish international go, setting a minimum price of €10M.
