Acquired during the summer of 2024 for a significant €26M, Mason Greenwood is poised to be a central figure in the early stages of this summer’s transfer window. Olympique de Marseille has indicated a willingness to consider offers for its star player, who is reportedly a top target for Gian Piero Gasperini’s AS Roma, a club that secured a coveted Champions League spot on the final day of the Serie A season.
Having been Olympique Marseille’s standout performer over the past two seasons, Mason Greenwood appears to be a primary candidate for departure as the summer transfer window approaches. Marseille’s financial strategy necessitates player sales, and the 24-year-old winger currently commands the highest market value within the squad, with specialized football valuation site Transfermarkt estimating his worth at €55M.
“If an opportunity arises, it will certainly warrant consideration”
During his initial public statements, Olympique Marseille’s newly appointed sporting director, Grégory Lorenzi, inevitably faced questions regarding Greenwood’s future. For those who harbored doubts, the English forward’s departure seems increasingly plausible. Lorenzi stated, “He is among the players who are subject to extensive deliberation. If an opportunity arises, it will certainly warrant consideration.” He further emphasized, “However, there is the club’s position, the player’s position; it is also up to us to manage it internally and find the best possible solution for all parties involved.”
Marseille sets initial terms for Roma interest
But where might he go? Recent days have seen significant speculation in the Italian press concerning interest from AS Roma, whose management aims to secure a high-profile signing for Gian Piero Gasperini following their Champions League qualification. Reports indicated that La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed discussions between the OM star’s father and the Italian club. However, an agreement does not appear imminent. Meanwhile, TMW has cast a shadow over any potential Mason Greenwood transfer, reporting that Olympique Marseille is demanding a minimum of €50M and has already informed Roma that they are unwilling to negotiate this valuation downwards.
