Overview
- As of June 24, Roma have agreed personal terms with Mason Greenwood but cannot finalise a club-to-club deal because they must first generate about €50 million in capital gains to meet Financial Fair Play rules.
- Marseille values Greenwood at roughly €50–55 million and needs to record sale proceeds before the DNCG review on June 30, but a reported 40% sell-on to Manchester United would sharply reduce Marseille’s net take.
- Roma proposed a structured payment plan with an immediate €15–20 million payment and €35 million paid in instalments so Marseille can register the full value this financial year, but Marseille has not accepted terms.
- Supporters have launched a petition opposing Roma signing Greenwood, and clubs must weigh reputational and commercial risks alongside the financial impasse when deciding whether to press the deal.
- Greenwood’s background includes a 2022 arrest and the Crown Prosecution Service dropping charges in February 2023; that history continues to shape public and sponsor reactions and complicates transfer choices.
