Mason Greenwood agrees personal terms with Roma as Serie A side push for summer deal | OneFootball

Roma have reportedly taken a major step towards signing Mason Greenwood after reaching an agreement on personal terms with the Marseille forward ahead of a potential summer transfer.

The 24-year-old is expected to leave Marseille during the current transfer window despite enjoying a productive spell in France over the last two seasons.

According to reports in Italy, Greenwood has given the green light to a move to the Stadio Olimpico and is keen to join Gian Piero Gasperini’s side as they prepare for a return to the Champions League.

Roma are understood to have held extensive discussions with Greenwood’s representatives in recent weeks and have now established a framework for a long-term contract.

The proposed deal is expected to begin with a salary worth more than €4 million per season, with bonuses and future increases built into the agreement.

While personal terms are believed to be close to being finalised, Roma still face a significant challenge in negotiations with Marseille.

The Ligue 1 club are reportedly demanding between €50 million and €55 million for the former Manchester United attacker.

Roma are expected to begin formal discussions with an offer worth around €40 million including bonuses, although that figure is unlikely to satisfy Marseille’s valuation.

The Italian club’s growing confidence stems largely from Greenwood’s willingness to make the move.

Reports suggest the forward has already started preparing for a departure from France after bringing his time in Marseille to a close.

Greenwood has been one of Marseille’s standout performers since arriving from Manchester United.

The English forward scored 48 goals and registered numerous assists in 81 appearances across all competitions, establishing himself as one of the most productive attackers in Ligue 1.

His form has inevitably attracted attention from clubs across Europe.

Turkish giants Fenerbahce had been heavily linked with a move for Greenwood earlier in the summer, while several other clubs have also monitored his situation.

However, Roma have now emerged as the frontrunners after making the most progress in discussions with the player.

The Friedkin ownership group are reportedly eager to strengthen the squad following qualification for the Champions League and view Greenwood as a marquee addition capable of elevating the team’s attacking options.

Gasperini is also believed to be keen on adding greater quality and creativity in the final third as Roma look to compete domestically and in Europe next season.

The transfer is not yet complete, but with Greenwood having reportedly agreed personal terms, Roma’s focus will now be on finding a compromise with Marseille over a transfer fee.

The coming days are expected to be crucial as negotiations continue between the two clubs.
