Mason Greenwood is getting closer to leaving Olympique de Marseille to start a new chapter in Turkey. Manchester United has already informed the French club that they will not activate the buy-back clause they held on the English attacker, a decision that clears the way for Fenerbahçe to move towards the final agreement. The parties are now preparing the formal procedures prior to closing the deal and the subsequent journey of the player to Istanbul.

Manchester United gives up on reclaiming Mason Greenwood

Manchester United's stance was one of the last elements that could alter the negotiation. The English club had mechanisms to intervene in Mason Greenwood's future, but they have chosen not to bring back the player. At Old Trafford, they consider it more convenient to receive the corresponding amount for the future sale and definitively close a sporting relationship that ended when the attacker was transferred to Olympique de Marseille, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.

This decision directly benefits Fenerbahçe, as they can now negotiate without the threat of last-minute intervention. The Turkish club has intensified contacts with Olympique de Marseille and is working to complete the necessary documentation before organizing the forward's move. The agreement is at an advanced stage, although contractual and administrative details still need to be resolved before the transfer can be officially announced.

Fenerbahçe prepares the final steps with Olympique de Marseille

Fenerbahçe aims to make Mason Greenwood one of the main references in their project. The Istanbul-based entity seeks to enhance their offensive capability with a player who brings dribbling, scoring with both feet, and versatility in different attacking positions. His arrival would also have a strong media impact in Turkey, where the club aims to regain national prominence and make a competitive leap in Europe.

Olympique de Marseille is willing to close the sale after receiving a deemed sufficient offer. The French club knows that the deal will bring a significant amount to their accounts, although they will have to share part of the income with Manchester United. The English club retained a percentage of a future sale when they allowed the attacker's permanent departure and now expects to receive over ten million pounds thanks to the transfer.

Manchester United also benefits from the operation

The departure of Mason Greenwood to Fenerbahçe represents an indirect benefit for Manchester United. Although the player will not return to the Premier League, the English team will earn a significant amount without having to directly negotiate his sale. This sum can help finance new moves during the transfer window and confirms the importance of the clauses included when his move to Olympique de Marseille was finalized.

Meanwhile, the forward is preparing for a significant change in his career. After regaining continuity and prominence in France, Mason Greenwood faces the opportunity to become a central figure at Fenerbahçe. The Turkish club offers him a prominent role and a project built to compete for titles. If the final documents are signed without any issues, the journey to Istanbul will be the decisive step before medical examinations and the presentation.

The resolution seems near. Olympique de Marseille advances with Fenerbahçe, Manchester United gives up on exercising their buy-back right, and all parties work to complete the operation. Pending the final procedures, Mason Greenwood is ready to swap France for Turkey and become one of the significant moves in the market.
