Atletico Madrid has turned its attention to Mason Greenwood, the 24-year-old forward currently at Olympique de Marseille, as a potential replacement should Julian Alvarez leave the club this summer. Reports from L’Équipe and The Sun indicate the Spanish side made inquiries about Greenwood in early July 2026, with Marseille reportedly setting an asking price of around €50 million.
The transfer picture
Alvarez has drawn interest from Barcelona and Arsenal this summer. Greenwood left Manchester United for Marseille in a deal that included a notable wrinkle: United retained a 40% sell-on clause. That means if Marseille sells Greenwood for €50 million, roughly €20 million flows back to Old Trafford.
Diego Simeone, Atletico’s long-serving manager, is reportedly keen on adding Greenwood to his squad.
