Roma’s €45m bid for Greenwood inches forward with silent pact
Roma are €5 million short of signing Mason Greenwood from Marseille, with the Serie A club ready to offer €45 million for the Englishman.
The Giallorossi have been pushing for the 23-year-old since last summer, but progress stalled until now. La dello Sport report a ‘silent pact’ between Greenwood and Gian Piero Gasperini over a transfer, breathing new life into the pursuit.
Roma want Greenwood in their squad before the training camp begins, adding urgency to the deal. The club is finalising the €45 million offer, which remains €5 million below Marseille’s €50 million demand.

Greenwood has returned to training with Marseille but has already agreed personal terms with Roma. The player has been assigned a key role in the club’s project, signalling his commitment to the move. Marseille’s €50 million valuation is the sole remaining obstacle. Roma typically avoid overpaying for transfers, but this deal could be an exception if finances are unlocked through a sale. Kaustubh Pandey of GIFN notes the Giallorossi’s financial flexibility hinges on offloading players before completing Greenwood’s transfer. The final push may come when Roma sell assets, freeing up funds to bridge the €5 million gap and secure Greenwood’s signature.
