Napoli have emerged as serious contenders for Manchester United winger Mason Greenwood, making his potential move to Marseille more difficult.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims Napoli contacted United two days ago to express their interest and assess the current state of Greenwood's transfer situation. Greenwood was loaned to Getafe last season, played 33 times, scored 8 goals and provided 6 assists and performed well, attracting a lot of interest from many clubs.

Lazio have pursued Greenwood with an offer of €20m plus 50% of the future resale value and have even sent an emissary to England for talks. Marseille have also made a bid of €30 million and are awaiting a response from the player.

In addition, Roma have expressed a strong interest in Greenwood, which has intensified the competition to buy him. Although Naples has recently fought, it is reported that Greenwood is full of enthusiasm for Antonio Conte, Antonio Conte. However, Naples must have at least two players, including Victor Osimhen, to make room for the British wings. This creates a crowded and competitive environment to secure Greenwood's signature.

With the arrival of Napoli, Lazio are facing increasing pressure and the transfer battle has turned into an auction. Claudio Lotito's club recently raised their offer to €22-23 million with the option to reach €25 million, plus 50% of future resale.

Lazio offered Greenwood a contract worth €3.5 million a season, slightly less than Marseille's net offer of €4 million.

In Rome, Greenwood would be seen as a key player for Lazio’s rebuild following the departures of Milinkovic, Luis Alberto, Felipe Anderson, and Immobile.

He has been offered the coveted number 10 shirt, although Zaccagni is also vying for it. Meanwhile, Rome is quietly monitoring the situation, but ready to act when the moment is right.

Although Greenwood initially asked for a wait until yesterday, he acknowledged that the situation was changing rapidly and extended the deadline for a decision until Monday. Manchester United are likely to back the highest bid, while interest from Marseille remains strong despite public resistance to signing a deal.

Greenwood's decision was decisive, as Napoli's late intervention added considerable intrigue to the legend.
