AS Roma supporters launch petition against Mason Greenwood transfer

By nigerreport / June 22, 2026

With Olympique Marseille facing a dire financial outlook, several significant player sales are imperative before the June 30 deadline. Amidst this pressure, Mason Greenwood appears to be a prime candidate for departure, especially given that AS Roma has identified him as a top priority. However, the enthusiasm for this potential move is not shared by all supporters of the Giallorossi.

Following sanctions imposed by UEFA, OM must balance its financial records by the end of the upcoming season to avoid exclusion from European competitions. This presents a monumental challenge for the club’s new president, Stéphane Richard, and recently appointed sporting director, Grégory Lorenzi. Consequently, OM is expected to offload several players this summer, particularly those with the highest market values. Mason Greenwood falls squarely into this category.

Mason Greenwood’s potential move to AS Roma

The forward’s next destination increasingly appears to be AS Roma, which has made the OM number 10 its primary target for its new project aimed at securing a return to the Champions League. While the player himself has reportedly agreed to the transfer, the Marseillais club is proving to be a tough negotiator, demanding close to €50M for his services, with 40% of that sum destined for Manchester United. Italian media reports indicate that discussions are ongoing, but this deal could soon face an unexpected turn.

Supporters launch petition opposing Greenwood’s transfer

Indeed, a revelation from TMW indicates that this potential transfer is far from universally accepted among AS Roma supporters. A faction of the fanbase has even initiated an online petition on iPetitions.com, titled « #NoGreenwood : La Roma doit rester fidèle à ses valeurs » (Roma must remain true to its values). This opposition stems from the serious accusations of rape and domestic violence previously made against the OM player by his former partner. This controversial history is precisely why Mason Greenwood has fewer suitors in the transfer market, particularly in the Premier League, where he is largely considered unwelcome. The critical question now remains: will this fan petition ultimately influence the outcome of Mason Greenwood‘s proposed move?
