MASON GREENWOOD could have the choice of six European giants when he finally leaves Manchester United this summer.

The Red Devils want to sell Greenwood, 22, on a permanent deal and have set their asking price to £40million.

Greenwood hasn't played for United since January 2022 when he was charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling coercive behaviour.

But the one-cap England international joined Getafe on loan last season after those charges were dropped.

And he is now being offered the chance to resurrect his career by half a dozen sides across the continent.

Marseille are one team exploring a deal to sign the talented but highly controversial striker, according to the Athletic.

They report that Greenwood and the Ligue 1 outfit have engaged in positive talks and that he favours them at this stage. 

But Greenwood is also attracting interest from Lazio while fellow Italian giants Juventus are also looking at the Bradford-born bagsman who scored 10 goals in 36 games last term.

While Napoli are also said to be considering a swoop as striker Victor Osimhen eyes a move to the Premier League - with Arsenal closely linked.

Napoli must also prepare themselves for clubs looking to poach Georgian Euros star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from them.

Portuguese champions Benfica also value Greenwood and could come in with an offer in the coming days.

According to Portuguese newspaper Record, Benfica chief Rui Pedro Braz met with Greenwood and his dad last month.

Getafe would like to retain Greenwood's services for another loan spell, but cannot afford United's £40m asking price.

Despite a long list of potential suitors, Greenwood is said to favour a move to Marseille over his other options at this stage.

A move there would potentially see him play under former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi.

De Zerbi has agreed a deal in principle with Marseille, according to The Guardian.

Jadon Sancho is another out of favour attacker who is for sale, with the Old Trafford side putting a £40m price tag on him.
