Acquired during the summer of 2024 for a reported €26 million, Mason Greenwood is poised to become a central figure in the upcoming summer transfer window. Olympique Marseille has signaled its openness to a departure for their star forward, who has reportedly emerged as a top target for Gian Piero Gasperini’s AS Roma, fresh off their qualification for the Champions League during the final moments of the Serie A season.
Having been Olympique Marseille’s standout performer over the past two campaigns, Mason Greenwood appears to be a leading candidate for an exit just weeks before the summer transfer market officially opens. It is no secret that OM needs to generate funds through player sales, and the 24-year-old winger currently commands the highest market value within the squad, with a specialized football valuation site estimating his worth at a substantial €55 million.
Marseille’s sporting director on greenwood’s future
During his inaugural press conference, Olympique Marseille’s new sporting director, Grégory Lorenzi, inevitably faced questions concerning Greenwood’s future. Any lingering doubts about the English international’s potential departure were seemingly dispelled. “He is among the players who are subject to considerable deliberation. If a genuine opportunity presents itself, it will, without question, warrant careful consideration,” Lorenzi affirmed. He further elaborated, “However, there is the club’s position, the player’s stance, and it is also our responsibility to manage this internally to identify the optimal solution for all involved parties.”
OM sets a clear price for as roma’s interest
The crucial question remains: where might he go? Recent days have seen intense speculation in the Italian media regarding interest from AS Roma, whose management is reportedly keen to secure a high-profile signing for Gian Piero Gasperini following their successful Champions League qualification. Speculation in Italy pointed to the father of the OM star already being engaged in discussions with the Italian club. However, despite these initial talks, a deal does not appear imminent. Further insights suggest that Olympique Marseille is demanding a minimum of €50 million and has already communicated its firm intention not to negotiate this figure downwards with the Roman club, effectively putting a brake on any quick transfer for Mason Greenwood.
