Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
Marseille are still battling to secure a move for Mason Greenwood within 48 hours and it looks like it will be a thrilling few moments if the deal is locked. Marseille has given 30 million euros including bonuses to Manchester United and it seems this is still a serious consideration for the Red Devils whether to release the player or not.
On the other hand, this deal will also see Mason Greenwood contracted for 5 years and I think Marseille made the right move. However, if progress shows good things and Mason Greenwood's performance can be sharper, then Marseille will also benefit from his sale in the future. But first Marseille's focus is on needing his services to improve the attack line which has started to dull since last season.

NY Times says Marseille has already reached agreement in principle with Greenwood.

The details of the offered deals are:
- €31.6m in total
- €27.6m euros fixed fee + €4m euros add-ons
Manchester United didn't have an intention to let him go for a cheap price as far as I know. Talks were pointing a sum around €50m. If it's true then I'm really curious about the Red Devils' answer to the offer.
