Roma’s July 5 deadline forces Mason Greenwood’s future into limbo
Mason Greenwood has given AS Roma a final deadline of Sunday, July 5, to submit a €55 million offer, after which he will be free to consider other suitors such as Fenerbahçe if talks with Olympique de Marseille break down in the coming weeks.
Roma, often referred to as the Giallorossi, view Greenwood as a prime target to bolster their attacking options. His proven goal‑scoring record makes him an attractive addition.
Olympique de Marseille, despite recent financial headlines, have fixed Greenwood’s price at €55 million and have refused to lower it for any club, including Roma. The English striker arrived on a 26‑goal season, and Manchester United retain a 40 percent future resale clause, which underpins Marseille’s firm stance.
Greenwood has remained silent on social media since March 8, signalling his impatience with the situation. He told Marseille directly, “Let me go,” underscoring his desire to leave the French side.
Roma have asked Greenwood to wait a few more days, noting that from July 1 they will be able to operate more freely in the transfer market. The club hopes the extra time will enable them to meet the July 5 deadline.
If Marseille and Roma cannot agree by the July 5 cut‑off, Greenwood will be free to pursue alternatives, with Turkish giants Fenerbahçe already mentioned as his next possible destination. For Marseille, maintaining the €55 million tag preserves a potential windfall, while Roma risk losing a coveted striker if they miss the deadline.
The deadline was reported by Corriere dello Sport, which noted that Greenwood will consider other options after July 5 if talks with Marseille do not materialise. His insistence adds pressure on both clubs as the window closes.
