Transfer Announcement
Fenerbahçe are preparing to confirm the permanent signing of 24-year-old forward Mason Greenwood following a deal reached with Marseille. Sources in Istanbul, speaking on condition of anonymity, say the transfer fee is €39 million (£33.2 m; $44.5 m) plus undisclosed bonuses. Under the agreement, Manchester United are entitled to a sell-on percentage of the fee, and Getafe will receive a share of United’s portion.
Background and Legal Context
Greenwood left United after his January 2022 arrest on charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control. The UK Crown Prosecution Service later discontinued the case, stating that “a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.” Greenwood has consistently denied the allegations.
Recent Performance Record
During the 2025-26 season Greenwood scored 26 goals in all competitions, including 16 Ligue 1 goals that placed him joint-second in the league’s golden-boot race. Since joining Marseille in July 2024 on a five-year contract, he has made 76 appearances and registered 48 goals. He has not featured for England since his senior debut in September 2020. At United he logged 129 senior appearances, contributing 35 goals and 12 assists.
Financial Implications
When Greenwood transferred to Marseille, United secured a sell-on clause that now triggers on the Fenerbahçe deal. United is set to receive 40 percent of the €39 million fee, but 20 percent of that share will be passed to Getafe, which loaned Greenwood for the 2023-24 season. Consequently, United is expected to collect between €12 million and €13 million from the transaction.
