Money talks. Right now, Olympique Marseille needs to listen. The French club is staring down a financial black hole, forcing them to slap a €50 million price tag on Mason Greenwood. Roma smells blood. Italian media outlets are buzzing with reports that the Giallorossi have made the English winger their absolute priority for the summer window. They want him. Badly.
Fenerbahce is sniffing around too. But Turkey doesn’t tempt Greenwood. Why play in a risky Champions League playoff when Roma offers guaranteed group-stage football? It is a no-brainer. While Bayer Leverkusen’s Kerim Alajbegovic remains on Roma’s radar as a backup plan, Greenwood is the undisputed prize.
The opening salvo is ready. Roma plans to table a bid of €40 million plus add-ons. The trigger? The imminent appointment of sporting director D’Amico, expected to be finalized within the next forty-eight hours. Once he signs, the offer flies.
Personal terms are already being drawn up. Roma is preparing a contract worth €4.5 million a year, sweetened by easily attainable bonuses to bridge the gap from his current €5 million salary in France. It is a slight pay cut, but the Champions League stage makes up for it. Meanwhile, Manchester United executives are watching closely. They pocket a massive 40% of whatever Marseille gets. Premier League clubs are also lurking, but Roma is currently driving the bus.
