Roma is reportedly prioritizing Mason Greenwood as a key target to strengthen their attacking lineup, with a €40 million offer being prepared for the Olympique Marseille striker.
The Giallorossi possess a more substantial budget this summer, a result of their first Champions League qualification in seven years. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini had previously expressed significant dissatisfaction last season regarding the lack of forwards suited to his tactical approach, highlighting the dramatic impact Donyell Malen’s arrival from Aston Villa in January had.
Greenwood Identified as Top Priority
Greenwood has now been pinpointed as the ideal addition to the attack. His availability is further enhanced by Olympique Marseille’s current struggles. According to reports from France’s Le10Sport and Italy’s Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma is preparing an initial proposal in the region of €40 million plus potential add-ons for the 24-year-old attacker, who predominantly operates on the right flank within a front three.
This initial offer may not be sufficient, as Marseille is reportedly seeking a fee closer to €50-55 million.
A former England international who emerged from the Manchester United youth academy, Greenwood’s career was once severely impacted by personal off-field issues. However, he has experienced a significant resurgence since his €26 million move to France in 2024. This season, Greenwood has impressively contributed 26 goals and 11 assists in 45 competitive matches for Marseille.
It’s worth noting that as part of his previous transfer agreement, 40 percent of any future sell-on fee will be directed back to Manchester United.

Roma is prioritizing Mason Greenwood to reinforce their attack and is reportedly preparing a €40 million offer for the Olympique Marseille striker. The Giallorossi have a larger budget than usual this summer after securing Champions League qualification for the first time in seven years. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini had previously complained about the lack of forwards suited to his style of play, noting the Astonishing difference after Donyell Malen’s January arrival. Greenwood is now at the top of Roma’s wish list, especially as the Englishman is on the market due to Olympique Marseille’s difficulties. According to Le10Sport in France and Italy’s Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma is lining up an opening proposal worth €40 million plus add-ons for the 24-year-old, who largely plays on the right side of a front three. It likely won’t be enough, as Marseille is asking for closer to €50-55 million. A former England international who came up through the Manchester United youth academy, his career was almost ended by a personal scandal off the field, but he has been revitalized since his €26 million move to France in 2024. Greenwood scored a remarkable 26 goals with 11 assists in 45 competitive games for Marseille this season. As part of that transfer, 40 percent of the sell-on fee will go to Manchester United.
