Marseille Identify Lazio Winger as Mason Greenwood Replacement | OneFootball

Olympique Marseille are preparing to part ways with Mason Greenwood this summer, as Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni emerges as a top candidate to fill the gap.

Mason Greenwood Set to Leave Marseille

The Englishman has been playing his football at the Velodrome since 2024. This season, he contributed with 26 goals and 11 assists. However, the French club is expected to cash in on the Manchester United academy product this summer, especially following Roberto De Zerbi’s departure, as reported by several sources in the French media.

Marseille Turn to Mattia Zaccagni

Over the past few months, Zaccagni has been linked with Marseille, and Il Messaggero (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) believes that Greenwood’s expected sale should pave the way for the 31-year-old’s transfer to the Ligue 1 giants.

Zaccagni Had a Torrid Campaign at Lazio

The Lazio captain has endured his toughest campaign since joining the Italian capital side in 2021. He sustained several muscle injuries and only managed to score four goals and provide two assists in 30 appearances.

Therefore, the newspaper believes the winger could lead the summer exodus at Formello, which could also include key Lazio players, like Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, and Ivan Provedel, who are all running on contracts expiring in June 2027.

Several Lazio Players Will Depart in the Summer

On the other hand, Pedro has already announced his retirement at the end of the season, while Elseid Hysaj’s departure has also been confirmed. The Albanian will leave as a free agent, with Toma Basic expected to follow suit, barring any late twists.
