Mason Greenwood has thrived since transferring from Manchester United to Olympique Marseille, fueling the regrets of Juventus and Lazio, which had a chance to sign him last summer. He didn’t transfer for cheap, as the Ligue 1 side spent €26M plus add-ons and a resale clause.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, despite the big investment, the Roberto De Zerbi-led side will easily be able to turn a profit if they ever decide to cash in on the attacker. He has scored 5 goals and assisted once in 6 matches since switching sides.
The valuation of the Greenwood has at least doubled already, pricing out the Serie A sides from the future race. Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, and PSG have laid eyes on the winger for 2025.
Juventus eventually signed Nicolas Gonzalez and Francisco Conceiçao wide, while Lazio brought in Loum Tchaouna and Tijjani Noslin. The Bianconeri had inquired but moved on pretty early. Instead, the capital club made several attempts, offering a lower fee but a high resale clause. Their director slammed the entourage of the player after the end of the window.
Our Take on Greenwood
The optics of his acquisition should also be taken into consideration and can’t be discarded after a handful of goals. It’s more of a regret for Lazio, as the Old Lady did acquire two quality wingers anyway, while their signings have been more feast or famine so far. Still, their bid was inferior, and it appears they never got too close to agreeing to his salary, which is large for their standards.
