Attributed to original sourceThere is good and bad news on Roma’s pursuit of Mason Greenwood, as while L’Equipe report he agreed personal terms with Fenerbahce, the club won’t pay more than €30m plus add-ons to Olympique Marseille.
Gian Piero Gasperini is convinced that Greenwood represents the ideal wide player to fit into his 3-4-3 formation, despite the costs and the growing unrest from fans who don’t want him due to his past off the field behaviour.
L’Equipe have given an update on the situation this evening, which contains both some good news for Roma, and some bad.
Greenwood still up for grabs 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.

At the same time, Fenerbahce are holding back on the transfer fee, seemingly not prepared to bid more than €30m plus add-ons.
That is significantly lower than the €50m that Olympique Marseille are asking for, and their determination is also forced by the fact Manchester United are owed 40 per cent of the sale.
It all gives Roma time and space to push their way back into the lead for Greenwood, but they are forced to make sales of their own before June 30 to balance the books.
Matias Soulé is on the way out and not part of Gasperini’s plans, but finding a buyer for the Argentine is proving to be difficult.

What happened
Mason Greenwood, currently at Manchester United, is at the center of a transfer saga with Italian club Roma and Turkish club Fenerbahce both showing interest. The article reports on developments that present both positive and negative aspects for both suitors. Roma appear to be the more concrete option while Fenerbahce remain interested as an alternative. The situation remains fluid with no confirmed transfer completed.
Chance analysis
Greenwood's potential departure from Manchester United would resolve a long-running saga for the English club. For Roma, securing a young forward of his profile would represent a significant attacking boost, though risks remain given his off-field history. Fenerbahce's involvement suggests competitive bidding, potentially driving up the fee. The outcome materially affects both clubs' attacking options for the upcoming season.
Greenwood's eventual move will significantly strengthen the attacking line of whichever club secures him, while freeing Manchester United's wage bill and squad slot.
