🚨 During a World Cup semi-final! Ligue 1 star moves for record fee | OneFootball

Yes, there is currently a World Cup semifinal going on, but the people in charge at Turkish top club Fenerbahçe couldn’t care less. They virtually announced their record signing, Mason Greenwood, right at halftime. 

The 24-year-old is moving from Olympique Marseille to Istanbul. According to Fabrizio Romano, Fenerbahçe will pay OM 40 million euros, with a further two million euros possible in bonuses. The previous record signing was Mattéo Guendouzi for 28 million euros. 

Manchester United, the Englishman’s former club, will receive more than ten million euros through a sell-on clause. Greenwood has signed a contract on the Bosporus until June 2030. His annual salary is reportedly around ten million euros net. That is three times his salary in Marseille. Last season, he was directly involved in 37 goals for Olympique Marseille (26 goals, 11 assists).
