Marseille Shows Interest in Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah Amid Greenwood’s Controversial Transfer
Marseille has reportedly initiated talks with Eddie Nketiah following a contentious transfer pursuit involving Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood. United had accepted a bid from Marseille for Greenwood, but the move faced backlash from Marseille’s mayor, Benoit Payan, who criticized the decision, calling it "unacceptable." Greenwood, suspended since January 2022 due to serious allegations, was loaned to Getafe last season, where he showed notable performance. Marseille’s bid to secure Greenwood has been notably contentious, leading the club to explore other options.
Given the controversy surrounding Greenwood, Marseille is keen on strengthening its attacking lineup and has turned its attention to Nketiah. The club has reportedly had positive exchanges with the Arsenal striker’s representatives. Nketiah, admired by Marseille’s coach Roberto De Zerbi since his days at Brighton and Hove Albion, is now a potential target for the French side. Arsenal is open to letting Nketiah go, providing Marseille with a viable alternative to Greenwood amidst the public and political scrutiny of their initial transfer plans.
Nketiah’s potential move to Marseille reflects the club’s proactive strategy in the transfer market, seeking to bolster their offensive options amid Greenwood’s complex and controversial transfer saga. The ongoing negotiations suggest a dynamic summer transfer window for Marseille, balancing their ambitions with the sensitivities of public and official opinion.
