Mason Greenwood’s proposed move from Marseille to Roma has reportedly encountered a major obstacle, casting fresh doubt over the striker’s immediate future and potentially disrupting the French club’s summer transfer plans.
According to the latest reports emerging from Italy and France, negotiations between Roma and Marseille have slowed significantly in recent days, with key aspects of a potential deal yet to be resolved. The uncertainty has fuelled speculation that other clubs could now enter the race for the former Manchester United forward.
Roma have been strongly linked with Greenwood for several weeks and were believed to be among the frontrunners to secure his signature following an impressive campaign in Ligue 1. However, reports suggest the Serie A side are unwilling to rush into an agreement and are monitoring developments elsewhere in the market before committing to a substantial transfer fee.
The delay has reportedly caused concern within Marseille, who had been hoping to generate significant funds through Greenwood’s sale. Club officials are understood to have factored a major transfer into their summer planning, with any prolonged uncertainty potentially impacting their ability to pursue priority targets ahead of the new season.
Adding another layer of intrigue to the situation are reports that Roma expect interest from the Premier League before any deal can be completed. Chelsea and Arsenal have both been mentioned in recent speculation, with sources suggesting the Italian club believe offers from England could yet emerge.
Arsenal are known to be searching for additional attacking options as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his squad for another title challenge. While Greenwood has not been publicly identified as a primary target, reports continue to link the Gunners with a number of forwards capable of operating across the front line.
Chelsea, meanwhile, remain active in the market and are expected to continue evaluating opportunities to add further attacking quality. The club’s recruitment strategy has often focused on younger players with significant resale value, a profile that Greenwood would arguably fit despite the complexities surrounding any potential transfer.
For Marseille, the situation is one they will be watching closely. The French club are believed to value Greenwood highly after his performances last season and are under no immediate pressure to sell unless their valuation is met.
As things stand, Roma remain interested, but the reported complications have opened the door to renewed speculation regarding Chelsea and Arsenal. Whether either Premier League giant turns that interest into a formal offer remains to be seen, but the latest reports suggest Greenwood’s future is far from settled as the summer transfer window continues to gather momentum
