While Roma leads the charge, Greenwood’s transfer has attracted interest from multiple top European clubs. The Juventus, Atlético Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund are among the teams monitoring the situation closely. Though offers from Saudi Pro League clubs have surfaced, reports suggest Greenwood remains keen on staying in Europe.
The €50 million price tag set by Marseille reflects Greenwood’s growing reputation and his status as Ligue 1’s standout performer.

« This season has been challenging at times, especially in recent months, but personally, I believe I’ve had a good year, » Greenwood stated. « There are incredible players in this team, and it’s an honor to receive recognition like that award. Ligue 1 is a fantastic league—we play in incredible matches, and it’s one of the best championships I’ve experienced. I hope to stay. »
