Report Greenwood offer from Fenerbahce was ‘disrespectful’ in boost to Roma

French reports claim Roma are back in front for Mason Greenwood after Olympique Marseille received a ‘disrespectful’ €30m offer from Fenerbahce.

The winger must be sold to raise much-needed funds, as Marseille are going through a serious financial crisis.

However, as part of the agreement for his €26m transfer from Manchester United in 2024, they also owe the Premier League club 40 per cent of the sale fee.

Roma still have Greenwood hope

This means they are demanding €55m, so RMC Sport and le10sport in France claim the Marseille response to the first formal Fenerbahce written offer was one of disgust.

“It was considered disrespectful” to offer just €30m, claim the French transfer experts.

So while Greenwood has seemingly agreed personal terms with the Turkish club, Roma are the favourites for his signature now.

Even that is no guarantee, because the Giallorossi have Financial Fair Play settlements to consider too, so must first sell either Matias Soulé or Manu Koné to raise funds.

At least it is a boost for Roma to know that Marseille are more favourable towards a sale to them rather than Fenerbahce as things stand.
