According toIl Messaggero, Roma must generate approximately €50m in capital gains before the end of June. This mandatory financial balancing act is the only way the Giallorossi can validate major incoming transfers like Greenwood. Consequently, the English forward’s future in the Italian capital is entirely dependent on Roma successfully selling players first.
The situation has created a tense atmosphere in Marseille, as every day of delay impacts their own ability to navigate the transfer window. While Greenwood is said to be open to the move and has an agreement in principle on a contract worth roughly €5m per year, the lack of immediate liquidity in Rome is preventing the final signatures from being put to paper.
