Mason Greenwood’s salary at Olympique de Marseille has been unveiled, shedding light on the former Manchester United forward’s earnings in his new chapter with the Ligue 1 club. Despite his impressive goal-scoring form this season, Greenwood does not rank among Marseille’s highest-paid players, a surprising revelation given his on-field impact.
According to recent reports, Greenwood earns approximately €415,000 per month at Marseille, a figure that places him among the top earners in Ligue 1 but below some of his teammates at the club. Sources indicate that midfielders Adrien Rabiot and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg command higher wages, securing their positions as Marseille’s top earners. This places Greenwood, despite his prolific output, in a mid-tier position on the club’s payroll.
The 23-year-old, who joined Marseille in a £26.6 million transfer from Manchester United last summer, has been a standout performer in his debut season in France. With 15 goals and three assists in 26 Ligue 1 matches as of March 26, 2025, Greenwood trails only Paris Saint-Germain’s Ousmane Dembélé in the race for the league’s Golden Boot. His form has reignited interest from top European clubs, yet his salary suggests Marseille secured a relative bargain for a player of his caliber.
Greenwood’s move to Marseille followed a successful loan spell at Getafe in La Liga during the 2023-24 season, where he revitalized his career after a tumultuous period at Manchester United. His permanent departure from Old Trafford came with a significant sell-on clause, reportedly 50%, meaning United stand to profit handsomely if Greenwood’s stock continues to rise and he moves again in the future.
However, not all is smooth sailing for the young striker. Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi has recently voiced concerns over Greenwood’s consistency and physical condition, dropping him to the bench for the club’s last two matches, including a loss to PSG. “I expect more from him,” De Zerbi remarked earlier this month. “He has to do more, because what he is currently showing is not enough.” Despite these criticisms, Greenwood’s goal tally speaks for itself, and his salary—while not the highest at Marseille—reflects a significant investment in his potential.
In the broader context of Ligue 1, Greenwood’s €415,000 monthly wage places him among the division’s top-20 earners, according to French media outlet L’Équipe. Yet, with Rabiot and Højbjerg ahead of him at Marseille, it’s clear the club has prioritized experience in its wage structure, even as Greenwood emerges as a key figure in their attack.
