The summer transfer window is heating up for Olympique de Marseille as they finalize the departure of Mason Greenwood. With no Champions League football next season, the club faces financial constraints that make selling Greenwood inevitable. The English striker, with his high market value, now has multiple clubs vying for his signature, but OM is determined to secure the best possible deal.
Key clubs in the race for Greenwood
The race for Greenwood’s signature includes AS Roma, Atlético de Madrid, Fenerbahçe, and Al-Hilal as potential destinations. However, Marseille is not rushing to accept a lowball offer, especially since Manchester United will receive 40% of the transfer fee. The club must balance urgency with maximizing revenue to comply with financial regulations.
Fenerbahçe leads the charge
Italian reports suggest Fenerbahçe has already submitted a €35 million bid, which Marseille declined. Undeterred, the Turkish club is reportedly preparing a revised offer before month-end. Meanwhile, Marseille is pushing for a swift resolution, as the French governing body (DNCG) has requested additional financial details before approving any deal. AS Roma remains in the hunt but has not yet made a concrete move.
What’s Greenwood worth in today’s market?
The transfer valuation for Greenwood has sparked debate. While his form dipped in Marseille’s recent season, his potential remains high. Industry analysts argue that a €50 million price tag may be reasonable, though some suggest delaying a sale until July to capitalize on rising demand. With a €60 million clause triggered on July 1, OM is weighing its options carefully.
