Juventus join Roma in race for ex Man Utd forward Greenwood

Juventus have entered the race for Mason Greenwood, with the Bianconeri monitoring the situation closely and ready to submit a formal offer should an opportunity emerge, adding a significant new complication to Roma’s pursuit of their primary summer target.

According to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, via CalcioMercato.it, Juventus have admired Greenwood since last season and are keeping a close eye on developments as Roma’s negotiations with Marseille continue to stall over the French club’s asking price of €50 million plus bonuses.

The winger has already reached a verbal agreement with Roma on personal terms, but the gap between offer and asking price has prevented a deal from being finalised.

Roma are not standing still in the face of the Bianconeri’s interest.

The Giallorossi are understood to be preparing a comprehensive offer exceeding €50 million in total to satisfy Gasperini’s wishes and beat their domestic rival to the signature.

Further complicating the picture, Fenerbahce had previously agreed a €12 million per season salary package with Greenwood‘s entourage, but that deal was tied to former presidential candidate Hakim Safi, who lost the club’s recent elections.

New president Aziz Yildirim remains interested in the player but not at those financial terms, effectively removing the Turkish club from the equation and narrowing the field to Serie A.

Greenwood contributed 26 goals and 11 assists across all competitions for Marseille last season, numbers that make the summer battle for his signature entirely predictable.
