Marseille’s firm stance on Mason Greenwood transfer fee

Having been Marseille’s top performer over the past two seasons, Mason Greenwood appears to be the leading candidate for an exit as the summer transfer period approaches. It is widely understood that OM requires significant sales, and the 24-year-old winger currently commands the highest valuation in the transfer market, estimated at €55M.

Sporting director confirms potential departure

During his initial public statement, OM‘s new sporting director, Grégory Lorenzi, inevitably faced inquiries regarding Greenwood‘s future. Any lingering doubts were dispelled, as the English attacker seems genuinely close to a move away. Lorenzi affirmed, ‘He is among the players undergoing considerable evaluation. Should an opportunity arise, it will certainly warrant careful consideration.’ He further elaborated, ‘However, there’s the club’s stance, the player’s position; it’s also our responsibility to manage this internally and identify the optimal solution for all stakeholders involved.’

Marseille’s firm stance halts Roma’s initial approach

The question remains: where might he go? Recent reports from Italy have extensively highlighted AS Roma‘s keen interest, with their management eager to secure a significant signing for Gian Piero Gasperini following their successful qualification for the Champions League. While discussions between the OM star’s father and the Italian club are reportedly underway, a definitive agreement does not appear imminent. Information suggests that OM is demanding a minimum of €50M for Mason Greenwood‘s transfer and has already communicated to the Roman club that they are unwilling to negotiate this valuation downwards, casting a shadow over early transfer prospects.
