At Atlético de Madrid, he is often linked with a multitude of names during the transfer market, although most of them are just rumours. One of the names that gained the most traction during the last transfer window was Mason Greenwood, who had a great season at Getafe. The Englishman was sidelined for a whole year after his off-field problems, but has now had a new opportunity in Spanish football.
He was able to reach 10 goals for the blue team, a more than surprising figure considering his long period of inactivity. Numerous clubs in Europe began to show interest in his signing, despite it being a more than controversial issue among fans. Finally, he would end up signing for Olympique de Marseille , where he is showing all his virtues at the start of the season.
Mason Greenwood stands out in France
Initially, Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona were the teams that showed the most interest in signing the Englishman. Mason Greenwood is a footballer who can occupy any of the attacking positions, especially on the wings . He showed all his skills during the loan at Getafe , where he became an undisputed pillar for José Bordalás .
Obviously, it was very difficult for him to continue at the club, as he had numerous offers from different teams on the continent. Atlético de Madrid seemed to be among the favourites to sign him, but he had other priorities in the summer market. In the end, Olympique de Marseille would be the new destination for the player, where he has started the season at a great level .
He currently has five goals and one assist in French football , and could become the league's top scorer this season. Only PSG striker Barcolá has scored one more goal than Mason Greenwood so far this season. His market value is 25 million euros and at 22 years of age he has plenty of room to continue growing.
Antoine Griezmann turns 500 games in LaLiga
Meanwhile, the man who could have been his partner this season has reached a round number of matches in Spanish football. In today's match against Real Madrid, Antoine Griezmann will reach 500 matches in the top category. For now, he is Atlético de Madrid 's all-time top scorer, something he achieved last January and, precisely, against the Merengue team .
This season he has already made seven goals in eight games played, once again being indispensable in Simeone's plans. Tonight he will start alongside Julián Álvarez in the attacking duo and hopes to continue scoring against the eternal rival. He has a contract until 2026 and at the Metropolitano they expect nothing other than to continue counting on the Frenchman until the very end.
