A blazing Olympique Marseille forward, tearing up Ligue 1, is now poised for a potential blockbuster transfer to Barcelona.
Barcelona’s quest to rejuvenate their attacking flanks has intensified, with Hansi Flick targeting a dynamic winger whose blistering Ligue 1 form offers immediate impact and long-term versatility.
The 23-year-old Englishman, thriving on loan at Olympique Marseille, has notched eight goals and four assists in 12 matches, blending pace, finishing, and creativity to torment defenses.
His contract with parent club Manchester United runs until 2029, but Marseille’s platform has reignited his career, drawing suitors eager to capitalize on his resurgence and English national team ambitions.
The forward is Mason Greenwood, now a prime Barcelona target as they seek a right-sided threat to complement Lamine Yamal and ease Robert Lewandowski’s burden, as reported by Fichajes.
Flick envisions Greenwood’s directness and goal threat slotting seamlessly into high-pressing transitions, mirroring his Marseille exploits under Roberto De Zerbi.
Barcelona’s scouting reports highlight his improved decision-making and work rate, addressing past concerns while projecting him as a future star at Camp Nou.
Initial inquiries suggest a January loan-to-buy structure, potentially €40-50 million, to navigate financial constraints.
Greenwood’s Marseille stint—following a controversial United exit—has been transformative, earning praise for maturity and output.
Barcelona views him as a statement signing, blending youth with proven elite-level potential.
Tottenham and Inter Milan lurk, but the Blaugrana’s project, Champions League pedigree, and La Liga allure hold sway.
Marseille, reluctant to lose their talisman mid-season, would demand a premium, complicating negotiations.
For Barcelona, Greenwood represents more than flair; he’s a bridge to sustained dominance.
As Flick rebuilds, this pursuit underscores ambition: securing a reborn talent ready to dazzle in Catalonia’s spotlight.
