Liverpool is reportedly exploring options to replace Mohamed Salah, with interest in a former Manchester United player stirring controversy among fans.
While Salah's contract renewal last season marked a significant milestone, his recent public comments regarding playing time have raised eyebrows, particularly as he preps for the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt.
Liverpool Reportedly Linked with Controversial Ex-Manchester United Figure
The Reds are said to be planning for the future and are considering a move for Marseille's Mason Greenwood, who is currently the Ligue 1 top goalscorer with 11 goals and three assists.
Despite his performance, any pursuit of Greenwood could be met with backlash from supporters due to his controversial past at United. He faced serious charges in 2022, including attempted rape and assault, which were ultimately dropped in early 2023 amid significant legal developments.
Executives at Manchester United decided to part ways with Greenwood, lending him to Getafe before his permanent transfer to Marseille.
Reports suggest that the French club values him between €80m-€100m, a steep price considering Liverpool's recent spending and the potential public outcry surrounding his Premier League return.
Although Liverpool may not need to act urgently as Salah’s return from international duty approaches, addressing this forward position will be essential in the future.
Greenswood’s market value is estimated at €50m, according to Transfermarkt.
