Al-Nassr wants to sign Mason Greenwood from Olympique Marseille, with the support of Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo supports move as Saudi club targets Olympique Marseille striker

Al-Nassr is making a bold move in the transfer market, targeting Mason Greenwood, the 23-year-old English forward currently playing for Olympique de Marseille. The transfer interest has the full support of Cristiano Ronaldo, according to journalist José Félix Díaz from Marca.

Greenwood Emerges as Top Target for Al-Nassr

Greenwood, a former Manchester United player, joined Marseille in 2024 and quickly established himself as a key figure in the French club’s attack. Now, he is being pursued by Al-Nassr, as the Saudi side looks to strengthen its squad and compete with domestic and continental rivals.

The potential signing is being encouraged by Cristiano Ronaldo, who remains a powerful influence both on and off the pitch at Al-Nassr. Greenwood is reportedly aware of the interest and must now decide whether to stay in Europe or embark on a new challenge in the Saudi Pro League.

Strong Debut Season at Marseille

In his debut season at Marseille, Greenwood impressed with 22 goals and 5 assists in 36 appearances, starting 34 of those matches. His performances not only reignited his career but also sparked attention from clubs across Europe and beyond.

Italian giants Inter Milan are also reportedly monitoring his situation, adding further competition for the striker’s signature.

Greenwood’s Contract and Market Value

Greenwood is under contract with Marseille until June 2029 and is currently valued at €40 million by Transfermarkt. This valuation could rise if a bidding war emerges, particularly if Inter makes a formal move.

Wait for Greenwood’s Decision

Despite only recently joining the French side, Greenwood may be tempted by a move to Al-Nassr, especially given the endorsement from Ronaldo. CR7’s presence could be a decisive factor, especially with the club also reportedly mentioning former teammate Bruno Fernandes in its recruitment pitch.

It remains to be seen whether Greenwood will choose to remain in Europe’s top leagues or follow the growing trend of stars heading to Saudi Arabia.
