Greenwood exit breaks record

Greenwood's departure will represent a major piece of business for Marseille, where the forward has been under a long-term contract until June 2029. A strict cost-cutting strategy implemented by the OM hierarchy effectively forced the club to cash in on their prized asset to balance the books. The transfer will officially shatter Marseille's all-time record departure fee, eclipsing the previous milestone set when Michy Batshuayi joined Chelsea for €39m back in 2016.

Greenwood lands lucrative contract

Greenwood will leave France having registered a spectacular statistical return across two years in Ligue 1, plundering 48 goals and 17 assists in 81 competitive appearances. That clinical form convinced Fenerbahce to commit significant financial resources to secure the forward on a four-year contract. Greenwood is set for a handsome payday in Istanbul, with the Turkish giants reportedly prepared to hand him a salary of around €10m (£8.5m) per season.

Fenerbahce plot title charge

The addition of Greenwood complements a massive squad overhaul engineered by Fenerbahce head coach Ismail Kartal ahead of a demanding domestic and European campaign. He is expected to integrate swiftly alongside fellow high-profile arrivals
