Attributed to original sourceRoma’s hopes of signing Mason Greenwood suffered a blow today with reports Fenerbahce have increased their offer, close to the Olympique Marseille €50m asking price.
The Giallorossi have had their heart set on the English player to reinforce their trident attack under coach Gian Piero Gasperini, but it has proved very difficult.

Now Turkish transfer pundit Yagiz Sabuncuoglu claims today that Fenerbahce have made another formal offer that is higher than the one put forward by Roma.
The Giallorossi were preparing to make an official bid of €45m including add-ons and a future sale clause.
It is close to the €50m demanded by Olympique Marseille, and two figures from the club have flown to France for face to face negotiations, so a deal could be imminent.
At the same time, Atletico Madrid are also keeping a close eye on the situation, but the Spaniards would need to sell before making another purchase in that role.

What happened
Fenerbahce are reportedly leading the race to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United, with a bid close to €50m that has surpassed Roma's offer. The Turkish club appears to be the frontrunner for the forward, who spent last season on loan at Getafe. The deal would represent one of the biggest transfers from the Premier League to the Turkish Super Lig in recent years. Greenwood's future at Manchester United has been uncertain for some time following his departure from Old Trafford.
Chance analysis
Greenwood moving to Fenerbahce would be a significant statement of intent from the Turkish club, both financially and in terms of squad ambition. For Manchester United, a near-€50m sale represents strong value for a player unlikely to return to the first team. Roma missing out shifts their transfer planning, potentially redirecting them to alternative attacking targets. The deal also signals Fenerbahce's growing financial muscle in the transfer market.
Fenerbahce strengthen attack with a high-profile signing; Roma miss out on key target; Manchester United receive a substantial fee.
If confirmed, Greenwood to Fenerbahce would impact Serie A (Roma lose target) and Turkish Super Lig title race odds; Manchester United gain a significant transfer fee.
