The summer transfer window is in full swing, and Olympique de Marseille is under intense scrutiny. The Phocéan club faces mounting pressure from UEFA to shed assets or risk exclusion from European competitions. While all eyes are on Mason Greenwood, another star player could soon be on his way out.

Following a dismal campaign, no Marseille player is safe from potential departures. The failure to secure a Champions League spot had already forced financial restraint, but UEFA‘s recent warnings have turned urgency into a necessity. New sporting director Grégory Lorenzi is working tirelessly to navigate this pivotal transfer window for the club.

Greenwood’s future hangs in the balance

The most pressing case involves Mason Greenwood, the club’s top scorer over the past two seasons. The 24-year-old winger appears destined for a move, with Fenerbahçe and AS Roma both vying for his signature. While Italian media had reported advanced talks with the Roman club, recent developments suggest a sudden chill. Marseille’s management allegedly took umbrage at Roma’s direct approach to Greenwood without prior consultation.

Højbjerg emerges as potential €10m exit

Amidst Greenwood’s stalled negotiations, another player could soon be on the move. Reports indicate Atalanta has set its sights on Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, with sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli—who previously attempted to sign him for Juventus—leading the pursuit. Marseille appears open to letting Højbjerg go, with a minimum release clause of €10 million. The door seems wide open for the Danish international’s departure.
