Marseille has their sights set on Arsenal, and Manchester United strikers Eddie Nketiah and Mason Greenwood as the French club looks to reshape their attack ahead of next season.
Roberto De Zerbi is hoping to hit the ground running as the club aims to dethrone Paris Sainte-Germain, which seems depleted with the exit of Kylian Mbappe.
Mail Sport reported that Marseille are closing in on a deal to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United while expressing interest in the Arsenal academy product.
It was reported that Nketiah seems not to. Be in the plan of Mikel Aretha for the upcoming season as the Gunners have been hunting for a striker in the transfer market.
It was reported that United, which wanted a deal for their academy product, had agreed on an initial fee of £ 27 million plus £3.2 million in add-ons and a significant sell-on clause with Marseille.
Meanwhile, The Athletic which also confirmed that Greenwood who spent last season on loan with Getafe has agreed personal terms and accepted a move to Marseille have cut out Lazio, Napoli, and Juventus.
After Marseille had already had a transfer agreement with United last week, the player hesitated and kept everyone on edge.
It was reported that this was due to the denunciation from the Mayor of Marseille and many fans, who protested they did not want him on the Ligue 1 side due to his past domestic abuse charges.
This put Lazio, Napoli, and Juventus in the race to sign the Man United outcast this summer.
However, the latest report suggested that Greenwood has accepted the transfer and agreed personal terms, so it is effectively now a done deal.
He is expected to fly in, pass a medical, and sign the contract, but the hard work is complete for Roberto De Zerbi’s side.
With Greenwood seemingly close to joining Marseille, Nketiah, who started just 10 Premier League games for Arsenal last season, would be the club’s next target.
Marseille wants Nketiah and Greenwood to play alongside each other in a new-look forward line, with last season’s leading scorer, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, expected to leave this summer.
