Mason Greenwood is close to sealing a move to Marseille. Manchester United will receive €30 million for the controversial forward.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Mason Greenwood is all set for a switch to Marseille after a late twist in the transfer saga. Manchester United will receive a fee of €30 million, as well as a significant sell-on percentage, as the Red Devils finally manage a way to get rid of the controversial forward.
Marseille to sign Mason Greenwood
In the last few days, there have been plenty of twists and turns in the Mason Greenwood transfer saga. Manchester United had made up their mind about selling the 22-year-old controversial forward amid fan unrest and a general view that they did not want the attacker for his off-field problems.
In the past few weeks, many interested clubs have emerged to sign the attacker after his impressive loan with Getafe last season. Many of them were Serie A outfits, although Juventus backed out following fan protests about bringing Greenwood to the club. The 22-year-old prospect still had the attention of Napoli and Lazio, with the latter very keen on brokering a deal with Manchester United.
Marseille emerged in the limelight and were the front-runners until the move stalled. Once again, fans did not want the controversial forward anywhere close to their team, while Marseille’s Mayor also protested over this signing. The new manager, Roberto De Zerbi, seemed open to integrating the attacker and may have gotten his way.
Amid concerns of the Marseille deal out of the question, Lazio felt they had another chance at signing Greenwood. Even before they could conjure up a bid for the striker, Marseille has revived their interest and is now set to sign Greenwood for a fee close to €30 million and a significant percentage in a sell-on clause.
Greenwood to sign a five-year deal
Marseille have surprised a few with their decision to go ahead with the Greenwood deal despite the apparent unhappiness of many people associated with the club. Either way, they are heading in for a controversial decision with this deal, with Greenwood set to sign a five-year contract with the club.
Manchester United have been brilliant with their idea of including a hefty sell-on clause in the contract, as they might have anticipated another move for the forward. There are chances for Marseille to sell him in a short span if fans and other factors keep going against this particular signing in the immediate future.
