That there will be some negative newspaper headlines is inevitable if Liverpool actually do as Fichajes writes and bring Mason Greenwood back to the Premier League.
Greenwood, who has no return option to Old Trafford, was sold on the cheap to French club Olympique de Marseille after a loan spell in La Liga for Getafe.

In recent days, there have been persistent rumours about how Mason Greenwood has not delivered at a high enough level. Something that is said to have annoyed manager Roberto De Zerbi and high-profile teammates such as Adrien Rabiot and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
They all got answers to charges in yesterday’s Ligue 1 match at the Orange Vélodrome against Montpellier, where Mason Greenwood was all over the pitch and provided two of the goals.
The 23-year-old was in the starting eleven, was given the responsibility of scoring a penalty after eight minutes – and followed up with his second goal in the 67th minute. “Male bonding” with Adrien Rabiot that you see photo evidence of here, shows that things are good again or have never been bad.
Mason Greenwood could be one of the big names in the upcoming summer transfer window. Liverpool have set their sights on the England striker, and are prepared to launch a million-dollar offensive to make him the cornerstone of their long-term project.
The former Manchester United player has had an outstanding season in Ligue 1, with 19 goals and four assists in 32 official appearances. – 18 of the goals have come in Ligue 1, which puts him 2nd on the all-time leading scorers list behind Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembélé.

His performances have been crucial to Marseille’s fight for European places, placing his name once again among the most promising talents in European football.
Marseille signed him in the summer of 2023 for €26 million, a sum that already seems too low. Liverpool are convinced that Greenwood would fit perfectly into their attacking style of play, with speed, technique and goal-scoring ability. According to multiple sources, Liverpool are willing to pay between €75 million and €80 million to secure his services – a move that would make him one of the club’s most expensive signings ever. – Even if Manchester United will sit with their beards in the mailbox far down the table and without what was the club’s future for many years, they can at least enjoy having 50% of the profits from a sale.
Greenwood’s arrival would be a powerful boost to revamp the Reds’ offense and build a new era around him. At 23 years old and hungry to prove himself, he has become a top priority for Liverpool, who are already working to convince both the player and Marseille to make a move in the summer.
