An explosive atmosphere at OM! The Marseille dressing room is in turmoil following revelations from L’Équipe. At the heart of the chaos: Medhi Benatia, now in a complete standoff with Mason Greenwood. The two men no longer speak to each other. A frosty relationship that reflects a deeper sense of unease.
The OM locker room is on the verge of imploding. Roberto De Zerbi was said to have offered his resignation, according to Foot Mercato. This was immediately denied by L’Équipe. But the sports daily adds that behind the scenes, discord reigns.
Greenwood Under Fire Amid Internal Turmoil
After the heavy defeat in Bruges (0–3), Benatia reportedly singled out several players deemed unprofessional. Greenwood is accused of having ignored a commercial obligation without fearing any sanction. The rift is widening. In early January, ahead of the Champions Trophy in Kuwait, a meeting reportedly erupted into chaos. Issues included inconsistent performances, the defeat against Nantes, and even a debate over the training center locker room. The mood was electric.
After elimination from the Champions League, the football director spoke out in the mixed zone and criticized his players for “professional misconduct.” Greenwood is among those now being ignored. Leonardo Balerdi was also reportedly targeted with a biting remark: “Tell me, Léo, are you the one paying the rent for the locker room?”—repeated three times.
The comment referred to a statement by the OM captain about the pros’ locker room at the training center. With internal tensions, an uncertain future for Roberto De Zerbiil, and a retreat to Rambouillet to calm things down, January has turned into a nightmare for Olympique de Marseille. Nothing is going right on the Canebière.
