Juventus are reportedly interested in former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood – a transfer which could see the Reds earn less money from a sell-on clause on his contract. United sold Greenwood to French Ligue 1 side Marseille in the summer of 2024.
The Reds secured a sell-on clause which entitles them to a major portion of any future transfer fee which Marseille may receive from a sale. While initial reports varied, the clause is widely understood to be between 40 and 50 per cent.
And Italian publication Tuttosport claim that Marseille have slapped a £42million valuation on the player – a fee Juve may find difficult to meet through a straight cash deal. However, it is said that the excellent relationship between the two clubs could lead to a creative solution involving player swaps.

It is claimed that Jonathan David or Edon Zhegrova could be included in negotiations to lower the overall fee. However, such a scenario would see United receive less money from a potential sale.
The 24-year-old left Old Trafford in a £26.6million deal to join Marseille in July 2024. Greenwood went on to score 22 goals alongside six assists across all competitions in his debut season for the French team.
The Reds academy graduate has scored 25 goals and registered eight assists across 38 appearances in all competitions this season. And Greenwood's impressive form has seen Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi back him to win the Ballon d'Or.
He said: "I see him every day, he has huge potential. I don't see any other players in Europe at the same level.
"He has the potential to win the Ballon d'Or. It will be up to him to decide whether he wants to do everything he can to fight for it or not.

"At the level of the qualities that nature has given him, that his parents have given him, I think he is worthy of the Ballon d'Or.
"I would like him to be more consistent. I know he needs to press with more intensity, he needs to manage the ball better when the team is in trouble, not lose the ball easily, but keep it to allow the team to move up because he has the ability to do it."
Greenwood, who has one England cap, switched international allegiances to Jamaica last year.
In August 2025, he received his passport for the Caribbean nation, opening the door for him to represent his grandparents' country.
