Acquired during the summer of 2024 for a reported €26M, Mason Greenwood is poised to be a central figure in the early stages of the upcoming summer transfer window. Olympique de Marseille has signaled its openness to a departure for its star forward, who is reportedly a top target for Gian Piero Gasperini’s AS Roma, especially after their recent qualification for the Champions League on the final day of Serie A.
Having been Olympique de Marseille’s standout performer over the past two seasons, Mason Greenwood appears to be the primary candidate for a move just weeks before the summer transfer period officially begins. The reality is that OM needs to generate funds from player sales, and the 24-year-old winger currently commands the highest market value within the squad, with specialized site Transfermarkt estimating his worth at a substantial €55M.
“if an opportunity presents itself, it will certainly be considered”
During his initial public statement, OM’s newly appointed sporting director, Grégory Lorenzi, inevitably faced questions regarding Greenwood’s future. For those who harbored doubts, it now seems the English forward is indeed on the verge of a departure. “He is among the players who are subject to extensive deliberation. If an opportunity presents itself, it will certainly be considered,” Lorenzi affirmed. He further elaborated, “However, there is the club’s position, that of the player, and it’s also up to us to manage it internally and identify the optimal solution for all involved parties.”

But where might he go? In recent days, the Italian press has extensively covered interest from AS Roma, whose management is keen to secure a major signing for Gian Piero Gasperini following their qualification for the Ligue des Champions. La Gazzetta dello Sport notably disclosed that the father of the OM star is already engaged in discussions with the Italian club, although an agreement does not seem imminent. This is reinforced by TMW, which cast a shadow over the potential Mason Greenwood transfer, reporting that OM is demanding a minimum of €50M and has already informed the Roman club of its firm intention not to negotiate this amount downwards.
