Olympique Marseille have reportedly reached an agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of Mason Greenwood, but this transfer is facing major opposition.
The mayor of the municipality of Marseille, Benoit Pavan has reacted openly to a possible transfer, saying that Greenwood should not play for his team.
“Greenwood’s behavior is indescribable, unacceptable. Hitting his wife. I saw images that shocked me deeply. Attacking your wife in this way is unworthy of a man and I believe that there can be no place in this team.”
“The values ​​of the city and the club of Marseille are nothing but this. It is anything but racism, anti-Semitism. It’s all but… can you imagine the violence against women? Do you understand this? And he wants to play for Olympique de Marseille, Greenwood? It’s a shame.”
“I will ask the president of Olympique de Marseille not to transfer Greenwood. I don’t want my club to be covered by the shame of someone who hits his wife.”
“I don’t want my club to be covered by the ashes of someone who hits his wife like that. This is not acceptable”, declared the mayor of the city of Marseille.
The French club is the number one favorite to secure the services of Greenwood, having offered 32 million euros for his transfer. /Football Match Up/
