Atlético de Madrid are reportedly preparing a significant bid of around £50 million to secure the services of Marseille forward Mason Greenwood at the end of the season.

The 23-year-old English striker, who joined Marseille from Manchester United last summer, has been in exceptional form, scoring 16 goals in 26 matches across all competitions this season.

Greenwood’s impressive performances have caught the attention of several top European clubs, with Atlético de Madrid leading the race to sign him.

The Spanish club, managed by Diego Simeone, is keen to bolster their attacking options and sees Greenwood as a valuable addition to their squad.

Marseille, however, are reluctant to part ways with their star forward and have made it clear that any offer must meet their financial expectations.

The French club values Greenwood highly and is aware of the competition among interested teams, which could drive up his market value.

Greenwood’s potential move to Atlético de Madrid would mark a significant step in his career, as he seeks to establish himself as one of Europe’s top strikers.

The outcome of this transfer saga will depend on both Atlético’s persistence and Greenwood’s desire to play in La Liga.
