Mason Greenwood is back at the center of the market after his departure from Olympique de Marseille has gained momentum. The English forward is a top priority in the transfer market of Atlético de Madrid, but a proposal from Saudi Arabia threatens to leave the "rojiblancos" without their big desire to strengthen the attack.

The Madrid club is prepared to make a significant effort. The offer would reach 40 million euros fixed, accompanied by another €5M in variables, an amount close to the economic demands set by the French club.

Mason Greenwood, an important request for Atlético de Madrid

The coaching staff believes that Mason Greenwood has the necessary qualities to enhance the offensive level. He can play on the right wing, act as a second striker, and take up interior positions, a versatility very attractive for a team that needs more imbalance, speed, and finishing.

His performance during the last season explains the interest. The 24-year-old player closed the season with 26 goals and 11 assists in 45 official matches, figures that positioned him among the most decisive attackers in the French championship.

Atlético de Madrid would be willing to offer him a long-term contract and a significant salary within their range. The sports proposal would also allow him to return to LaLiga, a competition he already knows from his time at Getafe and where he left very positive impressions.

However, the salary aspect could end up being decisive. Saudi Arabia is prepared to match the amount allocated for the transfer and drastically improve the player's salary, with a remuneration that could be three times higher than the one proposed by the "colchoneros" (Atlético de Madrid).

Olympique de Marseille awaits a decision

Olympique de Marseille has the striker under contract until June 30, 2029, so they maintain a strong position in negotiations. His market value is around €55M, although the possibility of selling him this summer could facilitate a deal for a slightly lower amount.

The French club also has to consider the percentage retained by Manchester United on a future sale. This clause reduces the net profit of the operation and obliges Marseille's sports management to look for the highest offer before authorizing the departure of the forward.

The salary difference threatens the signing

In terms of the transfer fee, the "rojiblanca" candidacy can compete with major suitors. The issue arises in personal conditions, as the Saudi economic power allows them to present contracts far beyond the salary limits managed by Spanish clubs.

The possibility of returning to the Spanish league plays in favor of Atlético. The Englishman left good impressions during his time at Getafe and understands the demands of LaLiga, but that advantage may not be sufficient against such a significant income difference.

The Madrid team does not want to compromise its financial planning for a single reinforcement. The sports management understands that €45M between fixed and variables already represents a considerable investment, especially when they also need to strengthen other areas of the squad.

Pessimism is beginning to grow in the offices of the Metropolitano. The red and white club has reached a reasonable limit both in the transfer price and in the salary and does not seem willing to enter a bidding war that could disrupt its financial balance.

Everything will depend on the priority set by Mason Greenwood. If the striker puts the sporting project ahead of money, Atlético will still have options; if he accepts the Saudi offer, the major offensive goal of the "rojiblancos" will slip away.
