Acquired during the summer of 2024 for €26 million, Mason Greenwood is emerging as a central figure in the early stages of the summer transfer market. Olympique Marseille has signaled its openness to the departure of its star player, who is reportedly a top target for Gian Piero Gasperini’s AS Roma, a club that secured UEFA Champions League qualification on the final day of Serie A.
Having been Olympique Marseille’s standout performer over the past two seasons, Mason Greenwood appears to be the primary candidate for a transfer as the summer window approaches. It is evident that OM needs to generate funds from player sales, and the 24-year-old winger currently commands the highest market value, with specialized platform Transfermarkt estimating his worth at €55 million.
“if an opportunity arises, it will certainly be considered”
During his initial public statement, OM’s new sporting director, Grégory Lorenzi, was inevitably questioned about Greenwood’s future. For those who had doubts, the English forward’s departure seems increasingly likely. “He is among the players who are subject to significant deliberation. If an opportunity arises, it will certainly be considered,” Lorenzi stated. “However, there is the club’s position and the player’s position; it is also up to us to manage this internally and find the best possible solution for all parties involved.”

But where might he go? In recent days, the Italian press has extensively covered interest from AS Roma, whose management aims to secure a major signing for Gian Piero Gasperini following their Champions League qualification. La Gazzetta dello Sport notably reported that the father of the OM star is already in discussions with the Italian club. However, an agreement does not appear imminent. On its part, TMW cast a shadow over the potential transfer of Mason Greenwood, indicating that OM is demanding a minimum of €50 million and has already informed Roma of its intention not to negotiate this figure downwards.
