Europe Marseille Talks Heat Up: Man Utd Insist on Greenwood's Clause in Transfer Deal

Manchester United set to include a significant sell-on clause in Mason Greenwood's transfer deal amid nearing a move to Marseille.

Manchester United is gearing up for Mason Greenwood's potential departure to Marseille with a strategic clause in his transfer deal. Amidst interest from clubs like Juventus, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid, United aims to insert a substantial sell-on clause, potentially up to 50% of future profits, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

Despite Greenwood's underwhelming season with eight league goals in 2023-24, United has struggled to meet their £40 million ($51m) valuation. Nevertheless, negotiations with Marseille have progressed, with an official bid recently submitted.

Greenwood, 22, reported to Carrington for pre-season discussions but refrained from training with the squad, indicating his departure is imminent. Roberto De Zerbi's Marseille appears the likely destination, pending the finalization of terms.

As talks advance, United's decision to safeguard their investment through such clauses highlights the complexities of modern football transfers, where clubs seek to mitigate risks while maximizing potential returns.
