Man United star forward flies to Marseille to complete €30 million sensational transfer

Manchester united star Mason Greenwood is flying out to France to complete a sensational€30 million move to Olympique de Marseille.

Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano posted his trademark “here we go!” just a few minutes ago.

It had looked inevitable that Greenwood would join the Ligue 1 side after United accepted a bid for him last week.

Romano posted:

“Mason Greenwood to Olympique Marseille, here we go! Deal in place between all parties.

“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.”

The last part of the post is slightly different than has been reported elsewhere.

Yesterday The Athletic‘s David Ornstein wrote that “The deal is worth €31.6million (£26.7m), comprising €27.6m (£23.3m) fixed and €4m (£3.4m) in add-ons, plus a large share of any future sale.”

Ornstein’s figures, in truth, look more precise than those of Romano. However, if Romano is right that the sell-on percentage is 50%, it represents pretty good business from Ineos, who were always going to have to cut their losses in regard to the Bradford-born man.
