Manchester United just made roughly €12M to €13M without kicking a ball. The club’s 40% sell-on clause from Mason Greenwood’s 2024 departure to Olympique de Marseille has been triggered by the English forward’s move to Fenerbahçe in a deal worth approximately €39M plus €2M in performance-related bonuses.
For United, this is the financial equivalent of finding money in an old jacket pocket. They sold Greenwood to Marseille for £26.5M, baked in a sell-on clause, and now they’re cashing a second check on the same player.
The deal structure
Greenwood will sign a contract with Fenerbahçe running until June 2030, locking him into the Turkish Super Lig for the better part of four years. His reported annual salary sits between €8M and €10M net, a significant payday that reflects how highly the Istanbul club values the 23-year-old’s goal-scoring ability.
The total package, when you factor in the base fee and bonuses, lands in the €40M to €41M range. That makes Greenwood one of the more expensive signings in Fenerbahçe’s history.
