Acquired for €26 million in the summer of 2024, Mason Greenwood is poised to become a central figure in the early stages of this summer’s transfer market. Olympique de Marseille has indicated its willingness to consider offers for its prominent player, who is reportedly a prime target for Gian Piero Gasperini’s AS Roma, especially after their recent qualification for the Champions League on the final Serie A matchday.
Having been Olympique de Marseille’s standout performer over the past two seasons, Mason Greenwood appears to be the leading candidate for a departure as the summer transfer window approaches. The club is under pressure to generate funds through player sales, and the 24-year-old winger currently commands the highest market valuation, with football analytics platform Transfermarkt assessing his worth at an impressive €55 million.
“If an opportunity presents itself, it will certainly be considered”
In his initial public statement, OM’s newly appointed sporting director, Grégory Lorenzi, inevitably faced inquiries regarding Greenwood’s future. For those who harbored doubts, it now seems clear that the English forward is indeed on the verge of a move. Lorenzi affirmed, “He is among the players currently undergoing significant consideration. Should a suitable opportunity arise, it will, without question, be given serious thought.” He further elaborated, “However, there is the club’s stance, and there is the player’s position; it is also our responsibility to manage this internally and identify the optimal solution for all involved parties.”
OM delivers a clear message to Roma
But where might his destination be? Recent reports from Italian football circles have heavily featured interest from AS Roma, whose management is keen to secure a high-profile signing for Gian Piero Gasperini following their successful qualification for the Champions League. One prominent Italian sports daily indicated that the father of the OM star has already engaged in discussions with the Italian club, although a definitive agreement appears distant for now. Conversely, another respected sports outlet has cast a shadow over the potential transfer of Mason Greenwood, revealing that OM is demanding a minimum of €50 million and has already informed Roma that they are unwilling to negotiate this valuation downwards.
