Now several sources in Turkiye maintain the deal is done, despite late interest from Atletico Madrid and of course Roma.
Because of the deal struck with Manchester United, the Premier League side is owed 40 per cent of the profit.
However, Sport Mediaset argue that Manchester United are instead getting 30 per cent, with an additional 10 per cent going to another of his former clubs, Getafe.
While the Italian sources have the total fee at €45m plus bonus, Fanatik in Turkiye set it at €39.5m plus add-ons , including a significant additional payment in case they win the Super Lig title.
Turkish transfer pundit Yagiz Sabuncuoglu also states that Fenerbahce have agreed all the details with Marseille and the player.

What happened
Roma had been strongly linked with a move for Mason Greenwood after his successful loan spell at Getafe from Manchester United. However, the deal has shifted direction, with Fenerbahce now poised to sign the forward. This ends Roma's pursuit and gives Greenwood a fresh start in Turkey. Manchester United will benefit from offloading a player who had no future at Old Trafford.
Chance analysis
From a soccer perspective, this is a significant career move for Greenwood, who will look to revive his career in the Turkish Süper Lig after productive spells at Getafe. For Roma, missing out on a proven goal-scoring target means they must pivot in the transfer market. Manchester United offload a non-essential asset, potentially generating a transfer fee. Fenerbahce gain a high-profile attacking reinforcement, strengthening their squad for domestic and European competition.
Fenerbahce strengthen their attack with a proven forward; Roma lose a key transfer target; Manchester United free up squad space and resources.
