Fenerbahçe has put a formal offer on the table for Mason Greenwood, with the total package creeping toward the €50 million mark. The Turkish club’s bid to Olympique de Marseille is structured as roughly €40 million upfront plus performance-related add-ons, a figure that dwarfs earlier rejected offers.
The deal structure and what Marseille gets out of it
Marseille originally signed Greenwood from Manchester United in July 2024 for €31.6 million. Selling him now for close to €50 million would represent a tidy profit on paper, but there’s a catch.
Manchester United negotiated a 40% sell-on clause when they let Greenwood go. On a €50 million deal, that translates to roughly €20 million flowing back to Old Trafford. So Marseille’s actual net take shrinks considerably.
Still, the French club appears motivated to get this done. Marseille is reportedly under financial pressure and needs the incoming funds to stabilize its books. Earlier bids from Fenerbahçe, reportedly in the range of €30 million and €35 million, were turned away. The latest offer finally crossed the threshold.
