Mason Greenwood’s potential 55m€ transfer to AS Roma gains momentum at OM
Olympique de Marseille (OM) faces mounting financial pressures, making a high-profile departure inevitable. Among the names under the spotlight is Mason Greenwood, the club’s creative force over the past two seasons. Fresh reports suggest the 23-year-old winger has received a lucrative offer from Serie A side AS Roma, with his father and agent reportedly approving the move. The proposed transfer fee? A staggering €55 million—a figure that could reshape OM’s summer spending plans.
The reorganization at OM is already underway, with Stéphane Richard stepping into the president’s role following Pablo Longoria’s exit. Grégory Lorenzi, formerly of Stade Brestois, is set to replace Medhi Benatia as sporting director—a transition confirmed by Richard himself. “The name circulating is correct,” he stated, “and it will be made official shortly.” Lorenzi inherits a daunting task: balancing the books while addressing the club’s most pressing transfer dilemmas.
Roma emerges as Greenwood’s next destination
The English attacker has been OM’s offensive linchpin since his arrival, but financial constraints may force his hand. AS Roma, fresh off a Champions League qualification, has identified Greenwood as a priority target. His father and agent have reportedly given the green light for a switch, with the capital club keen to finalize terms. OM’s valuation stands at €55 million—a sum that could be partly offset by the impending sale of Matías Soulé, for whom Aston Villa has tabled an offer in the region of €35-40 million.
Greenwood’s exit appears imminent
The potential move is eased by the strong rapport between OM and Roma, though Manchester United will retain a 40% sell-on clause—a remnant of the €25 million fee paid to sign Greenwood. Analysts suggest his departure is virtually sealed. “He’s the club’s biggest asset in terms of transfer value,” noted one insider. “With the need to generate revenue, Greenwood’s sale is almost a done deal.” As OM navigates its transfer window, the 23-year-old’s next chapter could be written in Rome.
