Attributed to original sourceRoma are now in a three-way fight for Mason Greenwood with Atletico Madrid and Fenerbahce, with reports Olympique Marseille will accept €46m.
The wide attacker has long been considered the ideal reinforcement by Giallorossi coach Gian Piero Gasperini, especially after qualifying for the Champions League, but the €50m asking price has proved to be a stumbling block.
Greenwood battle gets more complicated MARSEILLE, FRANCE – NOVEMBER 25: Harvey Barnes of Newcastle United is challenged by Mason Greenwood of Olympique de Marseille during the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 League Phase MD5 match between Olympique de Marseille and Newcastle United FC at Stade de Marseille on November 25, 2025 in Marseille, France.

Over the last 24 hours, things have been shaken up by multiple sources including L’Equipe claiming that Atletico Madrid are in talks with Greenwood too.
The Spaniards would be able to comfortably beat both Roma and Fenerbahce proposals, but only if they first sold either Julian Alvarez or Alexander Sorloth.
Sportitalia transfer pundit Alfredo Pedullà now reports that Olympique Marseille’s financial problems are forcing them to re-evaluate their expectations, so would accept €40-42m fixed fee plus a further €5-6m in add-ons.
With three clubs now involved in the transfer battle , the decision might ultimately be up to Greenwood, who is reportedly not happy at being pushed out of the door by Marseille.
The Ligue 1 club has little choice, though, as their dire financial situation means a big sale is necessary, even if 40 per cent of it will go to his former club Manchester United.

What happened
Mason Greenwood, currently at Marseille, is at the center of a three-way transfer race involving Italian side Roma, Turkish giants Fenerbahce, and La Liga's Atletico Madrid. The competition among these clubs could drive up the valuation and give Greenwood leverage in negotiations. Each club offers a different sporting project and league context. The outcome will depend on financial terms, the player's preferences, and the selling club's willingness to negotiate.
Chance analysis
Greenwood's market value is being actively tested by three clubs from different leagues, which signals strong commercial and sporting interest in the forward. For Roma, securing Greenwood would be a marquee attacking signing; for Fenerbahce, a high-profile acquisition to boost their Super Lig ambitions; and for Atletico Madrid, a potential squad reinforcement aligned with Simeone's system. The competition may inflate the asking price, and the eventual destination will have implications for his goal-scoring output and visibility ahead of potential international recall discussions.
A transfer battle for Greenwood will likely raise his market price and could shift Marseille's squad planning if a sale proceeds.
Greenwood's next club will significantly affect his goal-scoring projections, so prediction systems should factor in the likely league and tactical fit of Roma, Fenerbahce, or Atletico Madrid.
