Lazio President Lotito Addresses Mason Greenwood Transfer

Lazio president Claudio Lotito expressed no regrets about missing out on signing Mason Greenwood from Manchester United, emphasizing that the club does not want 'mercenaries' who prioritize financial gain over commitment to the team. Lazio had a €25 million offer for Greenwood rejected, ultimately losing out to Marseille, who signed him for £30 million following his successful loan at Getafe. Lotito's comments suggest he views Greenwood's choice to join Marseille as motivated by monetary factors rather than genuine interest in Lazio. Despite the controversy surrounding Greenwood's past legal issues, which saw charges of attempted rape and assault dropped, he has made an impactful start with Marseille, scoring five goals in his first seven matches. Marseille president Pablo Longoria highlighted the internal discussions that led to Greenwood's signing despite some opposition. The overall sentiment from Lotito is that he prefers players who are fully dedicated to Lazio's cause.
