The player at the centre of the excitement is Mason Greenwood, the 24-year-old forward who has been in outstanding form for Marseille since leaving Manchester United in the summer of 2024.

Reports from Spanish outlet Fichajes, shared by several other media platforms on February 9–10, 2026, claim that both Liverpool and Tottenham are closely monitoring him ahead of the summer transfer window.

It’s believed that both clubs are prepared to offer up to €90m (£78m) to test Marseille’s stance, with early talks already taking place behind the scenes.

Greenwood has impressed in Ligue 1 this season, reportedly contributing around 30 goals and assists across all competitions.

Under Marseille’s management, he has rebuilt his reputation on the pitch, becoming one of the league’s most dangerous attackers. His ability to play across the front line, score consistently, and create chances has caught the attention of top clubs.

At Liverpool, under Arne Slot, he could add goals and versatility to the attack, especially with ongoing uncertainty around Mohamed Salah’s future amid links to Saudi Arabia.

He would potentially fit into a refreshed frontline alongside players like Cole Palmer and João Pedro.

Tottenham, meanwhile, see him as a strong match for their fast, attacking style and believe he could further strengthen their forward options following recent additions such as Conor Gallagher.

Any transfer would also benefit Manchester United financially. When Greenwood left, United included a 50% sell-on clause in the deal.

A £78m move would reportedly earn them around £39m — a notable twist considering the controversy surrounding his departure in 2024. Although the legal allegations against him were dropped, public opinion remains divided.

His possible return to the Premier League has already sparked intense debate. While many fans argue that his football ability should be the main focus if he has been cleared to play, others warn that signing him could lead to protests and serious public backlash.

Social media reactions have been mixed, with some supporters excited about the talent and others concerned about the wider implications.

Marseille are under no immediate pressure to sell and value him highly, especially with interest from across Europe. However, a €90m offer could test their resolve, particularly if Greenwood himself pushes for a move.

For now, interest remains at an early stage, but the reports have already created major discussion. Whether this becomes the headline transfer of the summer or fades away under public pressure, Greenwood’s next move could become one of the biggest stories of 2026.
