Mason Greenwood Faces Transfer Exit as Marseille Tires of His Nonchalant Attitude

Mason Greenwood could be placed on the transfer list this summer as Marseille officials grow frustrated with his perceived lack of effort. Despite producing 15 goals and six assists in Ligue 1 this season, the former Manchester United forward’s body language has created tension behind the scenes, with coaching staff describing his demeanor as “irritating.”

Coaching Staff Frustrated by Greenwood’s Effort Levels

According to RMC Sport, Greenwood appeared to “give up” during Lorient’s recent 2-0 victory, showing minimal connection with teammates. The shift in his body language has prompted the club to consider placing him on the transfer list to capitalize on his market value. Head coach Habib Beye, who recently replaced Roberto De Zerbi, has already implemented double training sessions to restore squad discipline.

Benatia Slams “Scandalous” Lack of Pride

Sporting director Medhi Benatia publicly vented his frustration following a recent defeat, condemning the players’ commitment levels. Marseille has lost five of their nine matches under Beye, with form deteriorating sharply.

“When I see matches like this I have to come and talk,” Benatia said, as quoted by Daily Mail. “It’s scandalous, scandalous. What we ask for is some mentality, a minimum of pride. … Pride, respect for the jersey. We’ve had six or seven inexplicable performances this season.”

Senior Players Under Scrutiny

Greenwood is not alone in facing scrutiny as Marseille’s Champions League qualification hopes fade. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been described as “unrecognisable” in recent weeks, while former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is reportedly “disgusted” by the lack of effort from certain teammates.

Club president Stephane Richard has pointed to constant squad turnover as a primary factor in Marseille’s inability to maintain a title challenge. “It’s incredibly difficult to get a team playing well when a third or half of the squad changes every year,” Richard explained. “The first thing this club needs is a certain stability.”

Massive Summer Clear-Out Expected

Marseille currently sit sixth in Ligue 1. Failure to qualify for European competition will likely force a significant squad overhaul. Reports suggest certain players appear unaware of the club’s objectives, making the departure of several key figures almost inevitable, potentially including Greenwood.
