- AS Roma have identified Mason Greenwood as their primary attacking target for the summer window
- The Italian club have reportedly contacted the player’s father over a potential switch to the Stadio Olimpico
- Marseille may need to sell the forward before June 30 to meet French financial regulations
- Manchester United could receive a significant payment due to a sell-on clause from Greenwood’s original transfer
AS Roma are preparing to make a summer bid for Mason Greenwood following the forward’s impressive spell in France. The Serie A giants view the 24-year-old as the ideal candidate to bolster Gian Piero Gasperini’s offensive options ahead of next season.
Italian media outlets including La Gazzetta dello Sport claim the Giallorossi have already opened discussions with the player’s family. Roma hope Greenwood will follow the path of Donyell Malen, who has thrived at the Stadio Olimpico since his January arrival from the Premier League.
Marseille face pressure to offload talent before the end of June to satisfy French financial fair play requirements. The Ligue 1 outfit paid Manchester United €26 million to secure Greenwood’s services two years ago, and they now demand between €50 million and €60 million for his signature.
Should Roma meet this valuation, Manchester United would benefit from a substantial sell-on clause inserted in the original transfer agreement. This would provide the Premier League club with a welcome financial windfall without the player ever returning to Old Trafford.
