Liverpool is reportedly interested in signing former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, a move that could spark controversy due to his past. Under manager Arne Slot, the team is currently leading the Premier League and performing well in the Champions League, achieving success with limited squad changes, the most notable being the addition of Italian winger Federico Chiesa. However, the club is looking to strengthen its attack during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Sources suggest that Liverpool is one of several clubs interested in Greenwood, who now plays for Ligue 1 club Marseille. After being sold by Manchester United last summer amid off-field issues, Greenwood has revived his career in France, scoring 14 goals and providing three assists in 23 league appearances this season. His versatility in attacking roles could appeal to Slot.
However, fans may react negatively due to Greenwood’s past controversies, which could complicate the potential move. In addition to Liverpool, top clubs such as Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Juventus are also monitoring the English forward. With concerns over Darwin Nunez’s inconsistent performances and Diogo Jota’s injury struggles, Liverpool is keen on bringing in a new attacker for next season.
Marseille is reportedly asking €75 million for Greenwood, reflecting his strong form this season. Despite his controversial history, the forward has drawn attention from major European clubs, including Barcelona, who are also considering him.
Transfers between rivals like Manchester United and Liverpool are rare and typically contentious, with only a few players, such as Michael Owen and Paul Ince, having played for both clubs in recent years. Greenwood’s connection to United may make a move to Liverpool unlikely, but the interest from Anfield shows the club is exploring all options to improve its squad.
As the summer transfer window nears, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will pursue Greenwood, weighing both his footballing talent and the potential fan backlash that may accompany his signing.
