Greenwood to play in the French League?

According to a report from The Athletic, Ligue 1 club Olympique Marseille have reached an agreement in principle with Greenwood ahead of an imminent move.

The report specifies that the transfer is estimated to cost around €27.6 million, with additional add-ons expected to push the total to approximately €31.6mil.

Upon completion of this transfer, it will surpass Manchester United's club record for the largest sale since the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.

Currently, the record is held by Dean Henderson's transfer to Crystal Palace for a fee in the region of €23m in the summer of 2023.

However, Henderson's dream move has not gone as planned, as he has only managed to feature 20 times for the London club due to an injury that disrupted his campaign.

Greenwood shares lovely moment with child

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Greenwood and his girlfriend Harriet Robson recently celebrated their child's first birthday with a beautiful video compilation.

The two welcomed their first kid last year when the Manchester United forward's future was still unknown following his exile from the Red Devils first team.

After spending his season at Getafe, Greenwood is expected to move on to a different club this summer, with Olympique Marseille determined to sign the Englishman.
