No Regrets Signing Greenwood – Olympique Marseille

Marseille president, Pablo Longoria has come out to open up on the club’s decision to go through with the signing of Mason Greenwood this summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, despite the opposition that arose when Marseille was linked to the English forward, the coach had liked Greenwood from way back, so the club had to sign the youngster.

Pablo added that he has been happy with Mason’s performances in front of goal since he joined the club.

His words, “The comments of the mayor reinforce what we did, [they did] not have all the information.

We took the decision internally. OK, there was some opposition, that was objective, but at the same time that gave us power to maybe not investigate, because I am not a judge, but to use all the information to take the best decision, which I think we did.

In our very first conversation with the coach [Roberto de Zerbi] we mentioned Mason’s name.

The coach knew Mason from the past and it was a very quick conversation at the start between all of us because we believe in the talent of Mason.

There were a lot of conversations between all of us in the weeks leading up to his move. He is behaving fantastically with us and we are very happy to have him playing in our team.

I prefer to talk about what Mason is doing in France and Marseille and we are very happy with the kind of performances that he is doing during the first weeks as well.”
