Roma's attack revamp hinges on Greenwood deal amid Marseille cost cuts
Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma lack a cutting edge in attack, prompting the club to target Mason Greenwood as their primary reinforcement. The Giallorossi have been working quietly to secure the Marseille striker.
Marseille's new president Stéphane Richard confirmed that the French club must reduce costs through player sales. His remarks have opened the door for a potential departure of the English forward.
Alfredo Pedullà disclosed that Roma have no intention of abandoning the Greenwood deal. Negotiations have been ongoing for several weeks.
The Giallorossi aim to decide between Tuesday and Wednesday next week whether the conditions are right for a decisive move. That window is intended to outpace rival interest.
Roma's objective is to beat the competition and close the deal before the situation changes. The club sees timing as crucial to securing the player.
Pedullà reported that Marseille could consider an offer of €40‑42 million in fixed fees, plus €5‑6 million in bonuses. That valuation is lower than the figures circulating in the early weeks of the transfer window, potentially favoring Roma's bid.
If the conditions align, Roma will submit the final proposal within the Tuesday‑Wednesday window. Any shift in Marseille's pricing or renewed competition could still stall the transfer.
