Greenwood’s Future and Transfer Market Impact
Despite Marseille’s hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, the club may need to sell major assets in the upcoming transfer window. Mason Greenwood remains the player with the greatest market value. However, due to Manchester United retaining between 35% and 40% of Greenwood’s rights, Marseille’s potential profit from any sale would be significantly reduced. A report from L’Équipe indicates that a move to Saudi Arabia for Greenwood is a genuine possibility during the summer.
Other Players Facing Uncertain Futures
Greenwood is not alone in being linked with an exit. Geronimo Rulli and Geoffrey Kondogbia both have contracts set to expire at the end of next season, and there are currently no discussions regarding renewals. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also not expected to extend his contract, which is due to run until 2027. Meanwhile, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is another candidate who could depart the Vélodrome.
Looking Ahead
As Olympique de Marseille prepare for a summer of uncertainty, player sales could reshape the squad regardless of Champions League qualification. With several key contracts unresolved and significant interest from outside Europe, particularly from Saudi Arabia, the composition of the team next season remains highly unpredictable.
