‘Here we go’ - Fabrizio Romano confirms next Manchester United transfer as £25m deal agreed
Manchester United could see a player exit as Leny Yoro’s transfer moves closer.
Fabrizio Romano has claimed Mason Greenwood is set to join Marseille with a ‘deal in place’.
Reports on Tuesday had suggested the Manchester United forward is close to departing the club with a fee agreed between themselves and Marseille. Romano now claims the player is set to travel to France to undergo a medical.
“Mason Greenwood to Olympique Marseille, here we go! Deal in place between all parties,” he wrote on X. “OM have booked private flight for Mason to land in Marseille, undergo medical tests and sign.
“Deal valid until June 2029. Man United to receive €30m package plus 50% sell-on clause.”
Securing a permanent exit for Greenwood was always seen as United’s aim this summer, especially with the player’s contract set to expire next year. The 22-year-old met United chiefs at Carrington last week to discuss his situation as the club looked to arrange a transfer.
Marseille have been in talks with Greenwood for the last few weeks, having beaten off strong interest from several clubs, including Italian sides Juventus, Lazio and Napoli.
The academy product last played for United in January 2022 but impressed on loan at Getafe last season, scoring 10 goals in 36 appearances. Greenwood’s departure should provide funds for United to strengthen their squad, with finances tight at Old Trafford.
The signing Joshua Zirkzee has already been announced, while Leny Yoro is set to travel to Manchester to complete his medical ahead of a possible transfer. Assuming Greenwood completes his move to Marseille, he will become the fourth player to leave for a fee this summer after Alvaro Fernandez, Donny van de Beek and Willy Kambwala.
