Marseille Will Hear Offers for Mason Greenwood as Roma Steps Up Interest

Overview

• Marseille’s newly appointed sporting director Grégory Lorenzi said Thursday the club will consider offers for Mason Greenwood and described the striker as “the subject of great reflection.”
• AS Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini has personally contacted Greenwood and multiple reports say the player’s father and agent has given an initial green light to a move to Rome.
• Marseille are reported to value Greenwood at about €55 million, with most outlets citing an asking range of €50–60 million.
• A large portion of any transfer fee would be payable to Manchester United because of a sell-on agreement, which reduces the cash Marseille would actually receive.
• Roma would need to free funds before making a formal bid, with Matías Soulé a likely outbound option and other clubs such as Atlético Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus keeping pressure on the market.
