After jacking up the offer to €80 million, PSG appear to be willing to step up their attack to secure Mason Greenwood.
The summer transfer market is already starting to heat up, with several big names on the block. One of the most prominent is Mason Greenwood. The striker at Olympique Marseille has had a season at the top level that has put him back in the spotlight in European football.

His performances have not gone unnoticed, and several big European clubs have opened their eyes to him. Among them are Atlético Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain – and the latter seems determined to break the market to secure his services.
A season that revives his career
Mason Greenwood has found the perfect stage in Marseille to regain his form. After a difficult period in his career, the English striker has responded with an outstanding season, and he has established himself as one of the most crucial players in the team.
His scoring ability, versatility in attack and individual talent have made him a big difference in Ligue 1. With impressive numbers on both goals and assists, he has been a key player for the French.
Greenwood’s breakthrough has been so great that his market value has skyrocketed. What looked like a risky venture months ago has now become a business opportunity for Olympique Marseille.
PSG led the way
The club most determined to secure his signature is Paris Saint-Germain. Under the leadership of Luis Enrique, the Parisian club wants to strengthen their attack with players who can make a difference in Europe.
PSG’s first bid, close to €80 million, was a clear sign of their intentions. But Paris is willing to go even further and is now preparing to increase the offer to 100 million euros.
That amount is very tempting for Olympique Marseille, which could carry out one of its most important sales in many years. The French club know that they are sitting on a strategic operation.
Atlético keeps hope alive
Although PSG have a head start, Atlético Madrid are still watching behind the scenes. Diego Simeone’s side consider Greenwood an ideal profile to bolster their attack.
The Madrid club values his ability to adapt to different attacking positions and his potential to become a future star player. But the financial gap compared to PSG’s bid is a significant obstacle.
Atlético will now have to decide whether to increase their bid or explore other options in the market. The competition for the player is fierce, and the room for manoeuvre is limited.
The future will be decided this summer
The outcome of this transfer will largely depend on the player’s own wishes and the negotiations between the clubs. Greenwood has the opportunity to take a definitive step in his career.
The summer will be crucial for his future. PSG seem ready for anything, but the market always has surprises – and Atlético keep hope alive.
Whatever happens, Mason Greenwood is becoming one of the big figures in the transfer market. His name will continue to dominate the headlines going forward.
