European club agree €31.6m deal to sign Manchester United outcast Mason Greenwood - Reports

French giants Olympique Marseille have reached an agreement with Manchester United over the transfer of forward Mason Greenwood. Greenwood will bring to an end his association with the Red Devils, where he first learned his trade.

Greenwood spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Getafe, where he was named the Player of the Season before returning to his boyhood club. The 22-year-old was put up for sale despite his decent spell in Spain, and multiple sides showed an interest in him.

Marseille have agreed terms with Manchester United for the forward, who will cost €31.6 million, as per David Ornstein of The Athletic. The former England international has hd interest from elsewhere, with a number of European sides in the fray.

Mason Greenwood is yet to sign off on the deal to join the French outfit, and the move will only take place after he agrees to it. Manchester United will receive €27.6 million in fixed fees and €4 million in add-ons and also retain a significant sell-on clause.

Greenwood returned to the club's Carrington base to hold talks with the hierarchy over a move away, as he had multiple interested sides. Juventus, Napoli, Benfica and Borussia Dortmund have also registered their interest in the forward but have yet to strike an agreement with the Red Devils.

If Mason Greenwood agrees terms with Marseille, he will join up with former Brighton & Hove Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi at the Velodrome. The Italian took charge of Marseille this summer.
