Greenwood first choice for new Roma attack at €55m | OneFootball

Mason Greenwood is emerging as the first choice for the Roma attack after Champions League qualification, though Olympique Marseille want €55m.

The striker has seen his career completely revitalised by the experience in France, where he scored 26 goals and provided 11 assists in 45 competitive appearances.

He was forced to leave Manchester United due to his notorious off the field problems, and made the move to Marseille for €26m plus a large cut of the future sale fee.

However, he now seems ready to leave again after just two years, so Roma are the hot favourites to secure his signature.

Roma pushing hard for Greenwood

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Retesport and Leggo, the Giallorossi made direct contact with Greenwood’s father and the chance to play in the Champions League with an all-attack coach like Gian Piero Gasperini is tempting.

He has also seen how Donyell Malen flourished at Roma after the January switch from Aston Villa, hoping to follow a similar path.

The main problem is the asking price is around €55m-60m, especially because almost half that sum is destined for his old club Manchester United.

Other clubs interested in the striker are Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus, though the Bianconeri were hampered by failing to qualify for the Champions League.
