Mason Greenwood has turned down Roma to join Fenerbahce, with the Turkish side agreeing a €40m (£34.1m) package with Marseille for the former Manchester United forward, according to RMC Sport. The deal triggers a hefty sell-on clause negotiated by United when they sold Greenwood for £26.6m in July 2024 — thought to be around 40% of the profit — netting the Old Trafford club approximately €6m (£5.6m).
Fenerbahce had been growing increasingly confident of signing the 24-year-old, who scored 48 goals in 76 appearances for Marseille across all competitions and finished joint second in the Ligue 1 golden boot standings last season with 16 goals. The Turkish club, who finished second for the fifth successive season in the Super Lig, will play Polish side Gornik Zabrze in the Champions League second qualifying round this month. Greenwood is set to earn around €10m (£8.5m) per season on a four-year contract, a major factor in his decision to snub Roma, who had been prepared to offer a similar €45m (£38.5m) package.

Meanwhile, Leeds United have confirmed the signing of Wales international Harry Wilson on a four-year free transfer after his contract at Fulham expired. The 29-year-old attacking midfielder, who scored 10 goals in 36 Premier League appearances last season, said: “When the season finished and I became a free transfer, I felt Leeds were the team that really showed the interest in me. As a player, you want to play for a team which you feel like they want you and they are doing everything to get you. Really, really excited. It is a massive, massive club in the Premier League.” Wilson becomes Leeds’ first summer signing; they are also linked with Southampton’s Shea Charles and Germany midfielder Julian Brandt.
With Greenwood’s club future resolved, attention turns to his international allegiance. Former Jamaica boss Steve McClaren revealed the striker had obtained a Jamaican passport and was expected to join the squad, but changed his mind. “We acquired a passport and we expected him to be coming to this camp,” McClaren said. “But in a conversation with his family [we found out] he’s not going to commit at this time to anybody. He’s taking his time over that. We have to respect that.”
