Report: Juventus Resume Interest in Greenwood Amid Growing Tonali Competition

Juventus has reportedly reignited its pursuit of Mason Greenwood. Concurrently, the Turin giants are intensifying discussions with free agents Leon Goretzka and Bernardo Silva, a strategy influenced by the escalating competition from Arsenal and Manchester United for midfielder Sandro Tonali.

The club is actively planning its summer transfer window, with primary objectives remaining securing Champions League qualification and finalizing manager Luciano Spalletti’s contract extension. Sources indicate that an agreement with Spalletti is imminent, with the Italian tactician anticipated to sign a new deal before Easter.

Juventus and Spalletti have reportedly already discussed potential squad enhancements for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Among their renewed targets, the Serie A powerhouse is once again focusing on Marseille’s Mason Greenwood for the summer window.

Reports suggest that should Marseille fail to qualify for the Champions League, they may be compelled to sell the English forward for financial reasons. His valuation is expected to be no less than €50 million. Juventus has closely monitored Greenwood throughout the current season, but their ability to finance such a significant acquisition hinges on securing Champions League football themselves. Greenwood previously showed interest in a move to Juventus two years ago, but Marseille ultimately secured the signature of the former Manchester United player.
