Roma is reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Mason Greenwood from Marseille this summer. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Friedkin family may be prepared to invest significantly if the club secures Champions League qualification.
Greenwood has had a strong season in Ligue 1, notching 26 goals and providing numerous assists in 44 appearances. Gian Piero Gasperini, as reported by TuttoMercatoWeb, is said to have identified the former Manchester United forward as his primary attacking target.
If paired with Donyell Malen, who has been a highly impactful signing in Serie A this season, Greenwood could form one of the most formidable forward lines in Italian football for Roma.
The main obstacle is the transfer fee. Greenwood is currently valued at approximately €50 million, and Manchester United retains a sell-on percentage of any future transfer, making a discount unlikely.
Roma’s relationship with Marseille is strong, as evidenced by the deal that brought Robinio Vaz to the capital. However, the financial commitment required is substantial, even by the standards of the Friedkin family.
This potential move would only be considered if Champions League football is secured, a prospect that remains uncertain with only two matches left. Roma’s ownership has a history of making bold signings, with Paulo Dybala and Romelu Lukaku serving as prime examples.
Funding such a transfer could be facilitated by player departures. Both Matias Soulé and Manu Koné are believed to be among those who could leave the club this summer. Both players have attracted interest from other clubs, and their sales could potentially generate the necessary funds to pursue a marquee addition like Greenwood.
