Manchester United could benefit from Juventus’ interest in signing Marseille’s Mason Greenwood’s in the summer.
The 24-year-old came up through the ranks of Manchester United’s academy and made his way into first team in 2018.
Greenwood left Manchester United permanently for Marseille in July 2024, but his Old Trafford career ended in January 2022.
The Red Devils suspended him after accusations of domestic abuse and sexual violence surfaced in 2022. A key witness withdrew and new evidence came to light. Therefore, the charges against him were dropped in February 2023.
He didn’t return to the Manchester United first team squad and the Premier League side sent him on loan to Getafe in September 2023. The details here explain the Greenwood situation and the reaction before his loan move.
The Englishman returned to Old Trafford after the 2023/24 season, and Marseille took him permanently for €25m.
Juventus keen on Greenwood
Fast forward to March 2026 and Tuesday’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport have a report on the attacker.
Juventus’ immediate focus is tie down Luciano Spalletti to a new contract before Easter. The manager has made a few requests for the summer, and the focus is also improving the attack.
Dušan Vlahović’s contract expires in June, and the Serie A side are working on extending it. Spalletti still wants another forward and this is where Greenwood comes into the picture. In fact, he is their favourite target.
The Turin club’s interest isn’t new as they had looked at him in 2024, before his move to France.
A deal won’t be easy considering Marseille are demanding €50m. That’s mainly because a large portion of it will go to Manchester United, who retain a high sell-on clause.
Details of Manchester United clause
The Italian newspaper make no mention of the exact percentage of the Red Devils’ sell-on clause.
Last July, Sport Witness covered claims from France that Manchester United will receive 50% of the profit from his sale.
This is likely to be 50% of the profit made by Marseille rather than the overall fee. Either way, Greenwood’s sale can help the Old Trafford club earn more funds.
