Key Takeaways
- Juventus want to sign Mason Greenwood from Marseille for a reported fee of €50 million.
- Marseille may be forced to sell key players if they fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
- Edon Zhegrova could be offered to Marseille as part of a player exchange agreement.
Juventus are exploring a deal to bring Mason Greenwood to Turin from Marseille. The Italian club missed out on the forward last summer when he completed his move to France instead.
The Serie A side hope to take advantage of Marseille’s uncertain situation. The French team are currently outside the automatic Champions League qualification places with only three league matches left to play. If they fail to secure a top-four finish, the club may need to raise funds through major sales. Marseille have reportedly set Greenwood’s price tag at roughly €50 million.
The two clubs enjoy a strong working relationship following Timothy Weah’s transfer to France last year. Juventus may use this goodwill to propose a swap deal involving Edon Zhegrova. Marseille have previously shown interest in the winger.
However, Manchester United still hold a significant sell-on clause for Greenwood. The Old Trafford club could claim up to 60 percent of any transfer fee. This financial hurdle may complicate negotiations between the Italian and French clubs.
