When a player makes a big move abroad, settling in can be hit or miss. But for Mason Greenwood, who landed at Marseille after a turbulent exit from Manchester United, the French city has quickly become more than just a football stop—it’s become home.
Now, with transfer rumors swirling again, the 23-year-old is setting the record straight about where he wants to play next season.
Greenwood Makes His Intentions Clear
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Greenwood didn’t hesitate to share his feelings: he wants to stay at Marseille.
“I hope to be here next year and play in the Champions League,” he said with confidence.
“Players have told me it’s special to play here.”
He described the past year as a major turning point—not just in football, but in his personal life, too.
“I had a baby here with my girlfriend.
I feel at home here. It’s a very special place.”
A Strong First Season on the Pitch
Greenwood’s impact on the field has been undeniable.
He’s second in the Ligue 1 scoring charts, netting 19 goals this season—just two behind PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé.
His goals were crucial in helping Marseille secure a Champions League return.
If the team beats Rennes in their final match, they’ll finish as runners-up in Ligue 1—an impressive feat for Roberto De Zerbi’s squad.
Some Criticism and Transfer Speculation
Still, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing.
At times, Greenwood faced criticism from fans over his work rate, and was even briefly dropped from the starting lineup.
This week, reports from RMC Sport claimed that Marseille aren’t desperate to keep him, especially with two Premier League clubs reportedly interested in bringing him back to England.
But Greenwood seems focused on staying put.
“It’s been a positive season. I’m happy here.
