Mason Greenwood’s future is generating intense buzz as the summer transfer window heats up. The 24-year-old attacker, who has delivered a standout season with Olympique de Marseille, is drawing attention from top European clubs, with AS Roma currently leading the pursuit. Financial pressures at the Ligue 1 side are pushing them to consider offers, and Greenwood’s father is reportedly in talks with Serie A clubs to explore a potential move.
roma takes the lead in the race for greenwood
Greenwood has been in scintillating form this season, netting 26 goals and providing 11 assists across 45 appearances in all competitions. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma has stepped up its efforts to sign the former Manchester United player. His father, acting as his representative, has also held discussions with the club, indicating a serious interest in a transfer to the Stadio Olimpico.
While Greenwood remains focused on his current role at Marseille, he has expressed admiration for the club and the league. “Individually, I think I’ve had a good season,” he told Foot Mercato. “It’s an incredible league, and I hope I can stay.” His remarks suggest a preference for remaining in Ligue 1, though the lure of European competition may prove decisive.

The French club has set a €50 million transfer fee for Greenwood, a figure designed to deter lowball offers. His exceptional performances and recent accolades—including being named Ligue 1 Player of the Year—have significantly boosted his market value. Roma isn’t the only interested party; Juventus, Atlético Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund are also monitoring the situation closely.
Despite interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, sources indicate Greenwood’s preference remains in Europe. Roma’s qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League further strengthens their position in negotiations, while existing ties between the two clubs could facilitate a smooth deal.

With Marseille under financial strain and the transfer deadline looming on June 30, the club may have no choice but to sell Greenwood. The Roma’s pole position in the race gives them an advantage, but competing bids from other elite clubs could complicate matters. For Greenwood, the next few weeks will be pivotal as he navigates a potential move while weighing his options.
The upcoming transfer window promises high-stakes drama, with Greenwood’s future hanging in the balance. Will he stay in Ligue 1, or will a move to Serie A—or beyond—become inevitable? Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the negotiations unfold.
