Mason Greenwood has reached agreement to join another European club, United will be delighted – report

Former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood is nearing an Olympique de Marseille exit. United sanctioned Greenwood’s permanent departure in the summer of 2024, selling him to Marseille for £26.6 million. The 24-year-old has rebuilt his career in the south of France, scoring a brilliant 48 goals in 81 appearances. However, he has endured a difficult few months at Marseille, especially following the departure of Roberto De Zerbi. Mason Greenwood agrees to join Fenerbahce Earlier this week, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Marseille are willing to listen to offers for Mason Greenwood, who has three years remaining on his contract. Greenwood emerged as the top transfer target for Fenerbahce’s two presidential candidates, Aziz Yildirim and Hakan Safi. The latter has now allegedly received the Englishman’s nod.  According to Fabrizio Romano, Safi has claimed that he has “reached an agreement” with Greenwood. “The deal is ready until June 2030 if I win the elections” Safi added. The Italian journalist further reveals that Greenwood has liked and followed Safi on social media.  AS Roma are also thought to be keen on signing Greenwood. Given Safi’s comments, the Serie A giants would have to act swiftly to secure the Marseille forward’s services. Manchester United want another striker It is believed United included a sizeable sell-on fee when they sold Greenwood to Marseille. As such, they could be set for a significant financial windfall. United could certainly do with extra cash this summer, as they also want to strengthen their attack. However, the major chunk of their transfer budget is likely to be allocated for their midfield revamp.  Recently, The Peoples Person covered a report claiming five strikers, including Victor Osimhen and Jean-Philippe Mateta, are on United’s radar, with INEOS keen to replace Joshua Zirkzee with a more prolific goalscorer.  Feature image Miguel Medina via Getty Images The Peoples Person has been one of the world’s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
