The Rojiblancos are going all out.

The club from Madrid, in its eagerness to strengthen the attack for the upcoming season, sees Greenwood as a market opportunity that could enhance its squad. However, his signing is not without debate, both because of his controversial past and the significant investment it represents for the Madrid team.

Greenwood's Impact on Marseille

Since his arrival in Ligue 1, Greenwood has proven to be a top-level reinforcement for Marseille. He has fit well into the French team's scheme and has been a decisive player in several matchdays of the championship. With his ability to play both as a center forward and as a winger, he has added offensive options to the team.

Atlético has submitted an offer close to 50 million euros to Marseille, which would be more than double what the French club paid just a year ago. The operation would not only be economically beneficial for Marseille but would also allow Atlético de Madrid to add an striker with room for growth and a hunger for success.

From the player's camp, there is talk of a favorable disposition toward the possibility of playing for Atlético de Madrid. The option to compete in LaLiga and the Champions League with a top-level team could be an incentive for Greenwood, who seeks stability and continuity in a competitive environment.

What Will Be the Outcome of the Operation?

The future of Mason Greenwood remains uncertain, but what is certain is that Atlético de Madrid is willing to make a strong bid for him in the summer. Now the decision lies with Olympique de Marseille and the player himself, who must assess whether it is the right time to make the leap to a bigger club.

If the signing is finalized, Atlético would add a footballer with enormous potential who could become a key piece in Cholo Simeone's scheme. However, the operation also involves risks, both sporting and non-sporting, that the club must weigh before making a final decision.
