Juventus set to battle Roma for Mason Greenwood as Fenerbahce cool transfer interest in Marseille forward

Juventus monitor stalemate to plot formal counter-bid

According to

The sudden intervention from the Allianz Stadium presents a massive logistical headache for domestic rivals Roma, whose long-running negotiations with Marseille have completely flatlined. Boardroom talks between the French side and the Giallorossi have stalled for weeks due to Marseille's unyielding €50 million plus add-ons asking price.

Roma prepare massive bid to fend off interest

Roma are unwilling to let their primary target slip away and are already working on a counter-strategy to beat Juventus to the punch. The capital club has already reached a verbal agreement with Greenwood’s entourage regarding personal terms, but negotiations with Marseille have hit a standstill over the French club's valuation.

In response to the growing pressure from Turin, the Giallorossi are understood to be preparing a comprehensive offer that exceeds the €50m total package. This move is designed to satisfy the demands of manager Gian Piero Gasperini, who has identified the former Manchester United man as the essential piece for his tactical setup next season.

Kone domino effect complicates Roma's bid

Roma's pursuit of Greenwood is tangled up in a separate transfer saga that could ultimately decide the outcome.

Fenerbahce interest cools after election shift

The race for Greenwood was previously a three-way battle, but Turkish giants Fenerbahce have seen their interest cool significantly. The club had initially brokered a lucrative deal that would have seen the forward earn €12 million per season. However, that agreement was contingent on the success of presidential candidate Hakan Safi, who ultimately lost the club's recent leadership elections.

New president Aziz Yildirim remains an admirer of the player's talent but is unwilling to match those astronomical financial terms. With the Turkish outfit effectively stepping back from the negotiating table, the battle for Greenwood has been narrowed down to a straight fight between the two Serie A heavyweights.
