Manchester United sign agreement for Mason Greenwood to Fenerbahçe move

Manchester United have reportedly signed their part of the agreement that could take Mason Greenwood from Marseille to Fenerbahçe.

The complex transfer is now waiting for Marseille to provide their signature before the deal can be completed, with United set to receive a significant percentage of the fee through a sell-on clause.

Fenerbahçe have reportedly set a deadline of 17 July to finalise the transfer.

According to journalist Erdem Akbaş, agreements have been reached with almost every party involved in the deal.

The transfer has been described as a “five-legged” operation involving Manchester United, Marseille, Getafe, Fenerbahçe and Greenwood.

United have now signed the necessary paperwork, leaving Marseille as the only party yet to provide their signature.

Common ground has reportedly been found with the French club, but the transfer cannot be completed until the final documents are signed.

United have a major financial interest in the deal because of the sell-on clause they retained when Greenwood left the club.

Reports in England have previously claimed the clause could be worth up to 40% of a future transfer fee.

Fenerbahçe’s deal for the 24-year-old is reportedly valued between €40m and €50m.

If the full 40% clause applies to the total transfer fee, a €40m deal could earn United around €16m. A €50m transfer could increase that figure to €20m.

The exact amount will depend on the final structure of the deal and the precise terms of United’s sell-on agreement.

Greenwood initially left Manchester United for Getafe on loan in September 2023 before joining Marseille permanently in July 2024.

His latest move is now close to completion, but Fenerbahçe are waiting for Marseille to sign the final paperwork.

With the Turkish club setting a 17 July deadline, the coming days should determine whether the deal is completed.

For United, the transfer could provide an unexpected financial boost during the summer window.
