Mason greenwood set for roma move as om faces financial constraints

With pressing financial considerations facing Olympique de Marseille, a high-profile departure may be on the horizon. Reports indicate that Mason Greenwood, the club’s standout attacking midfielder, has reportedly agreed to terms for a transfer to AS Roma, with a reported fee of €55 million.

Olympique de Marseille is undergoing significant restructuring, both on and off the pitch. Stéphane Richard has taken over as president following the departure of Pablo Longoria, while Grégory Lorenzi is set to join as the new sporting director. Lorenzi, previously with Stade Brestois, will step into the role once held by Mehdi Benatia, as confirmed by Richard: ‘The name circulating in the media is correct. Official confirmation will follow shortly.’

Roma emerges as potential destination for Greenwood

Mason Greenwood has been a key offensive force for Marseille over the past two seasons. However, financial pressures mean the club may need to sell high-value players to balance its books. AS Roma, fresh from Champions League qualification, appears to be targeting Greenwood as a priority signing. His father and agent have reportedly given the green light for a move, with the French side seeking €55 million. This figure could be partially covered by a potential deal involving Matías Soulé, who Aston Villa is reportedly willing to acquire for €35-40 million.

Greenwood’s departure looks increasingly likely

Strong relations between Olympique de Marseille and AS Roma may facilitate a smooth transfer at the €55 million valuation. It’s worth noting that Manchester United will retain 40% of the transfer fee, given their sell-on clause from Greenwood’s initial €25 million move to Marseille. Industry insiders suggest Greenwood’s exit is all but confirmed: ‘He is the club’s most valuable asset. With financial constraints, a sale is inevitable, and the funds raised will help restructure the squad.’
