Mason Greenwood was the first target for Lazio for a good period. In the end he chose Olympique Marseille, taken for 25 million euros plus 50% of the future resale which will go to Manchester United. A real jewel, who relaunched himself at Getafe after what happened with his girlfriend. Greenwood had been arrested for violence, spending the night in prison and, effectively, ending his experience at the Red Devils. Initially, however, he was investigated for rape and cleared.
He ended up in the sights of Juventus, then United decided to reinstate him, but the employees decided to revolt. And he himself had admitted the mistake. “I have learned that violence or abuse in any relationship is wrong, I did not do the things I was accused of and in February I was acquitted. However, I fully accept that I have made mistakes in my relationship and I take my part of responsibility for the situations that led to the uproar on social media.”
Until, in fact, last summer. When he was Lazio’s first target after a great season with Getafe. Nothing to do. “Why did I choose OM? Marseille is a very big club in France, perhaps the biggest. It is the only one to have won the Champions League, in 1993. It is a club with a great history, an incredible crowd and I have I had good talks with the new manager, Roberto De Zerbi. I know him a little from having seen his team, Brighton, play in the Premier League. It was a very important factor His team’s Premier League and Brighton were a very enjoyable team to watch. I’m really looking forward to starting this new adventure under his command.” Mason Greenwood turns 23 today.
