What happened: L'Equipe report that Fenerbahce have agreed personal terms with Mason Greenwood, offering a salary package Roma would struggle to match. The Turkish club, however, are unwilling to go beyond €30m plus add-ons for the winger. That sits well short of the €50m Marseille are asking, a number stiffened by Manchester United being owed 40 percent of any sale.
Why it matters: The fee gap keeps Roma alive in the chase, with Gian Piero Gasperini convinced Greenwood is the ideal wide man for his 3-4-3 despite cost concerns and fan unease over his past. To fund a deal, Roma must balance the books with sales before the June 30 accounting deadline. Matias Soulé is earmarked to leave but a buyer has been hard to find.
By the numbers: Fenerbahce offer: €30m plus add-ons. Marseille asking price: €50m. Manchester United sell-on share: 40 percent of any fee.
What to watch: Watch whether Roma can move Soulé and other fringe pieces before June 30, and whether Fenerbahce raise their bid toward Marseille's valuation.
