Spanish giants Barcelona are reportedly keeping tabs on Marseille striker Mason Greenwood, with a potential transfer that could reunite him with compatriot Marcus Rashford, who is currently on loan at Camp Nou.
According to The sunthe Catalan club’s scouts are impressed by Greenwood’s performance in Ligue 1.
Greenwood, now 24, has rebuilt his career in France after leaving Manchester United and continues to attract interest from Europe’s elite.
Greenwood’s journey back to prominence has been closely followed since his move to Getafe in 2023, where he recorded 22 goals and five assists in all competitions in his debut season in Spain.
Mason Greenwood is a much sought after player
That breakout campaign earned him a permanent transfer to Marseille, where he has continued to impress, scoring four goals so far this season and contributing significantly to the French club’s attacking threat.
Despite doing well on the pitch, reports suggest Greenwood is homesick for England, which could make a move elsewhere more attractive.
Barcelona’s interest is especially intriguing given the continued rebuilding of the squad and their desire to add depth in attacking areas. Manager Hansi Flick is said to love versatile forwards who can operate in the front line, and Greenwood fits that profile perfectly.
The potential presence of Rashford, who is currently on loan at Barca, could further entice Greenwood and offer both exposure and a smoother transition to life in Catalonia.
Man United could benefit financially
Financially, the move could also benefit Man United, who remain tied to the player’s future via a 50% sell-on clause.
This means United would receive half of the transfer fee Barcelona pays to Marseille, a potentially significant windfall if the deal materializes.
Greenwood was suspended by Man United in January 2022 after being arrested on suspicion of rape and assault. The Crown Prosecution Service later dropped all charges, but the case continues to cast a shadow on his public image.
