Greenwood Snubs Atlético for Fenerbahçe Move

Mason Greenwood is on the verge of signing a four-year contract with Fenerbahçe, following Atlético Madrid's decision to withdraw their interest. Sources revealed that Atlético became frustrated by their inability to contact the former Manchester United player, interpreting his unresponsiveness over two days as disrespect and a lack of desire to join them. This led to their withdrawal, leaving Fenerbahçe as the sole concrete candidate for his signature.

Despite Atlético's offer being financially superior (€45 million total), the personal financial conditions were not as attractive to Greenwood. Fenerbahçe's proposed deal is reportedly worth between €7 million and €8 million net per year. The transfer fee for Greenwood, 24, who joined Marseille two years ago, has been agreed at €40 million, with an additional €2 million in bonuses. Manchester United will retain 35% of this fee due to a clause in his initial transfer to Marseille.

Greenwood spent the 2023-2024 season on loan at Getafe before his time at Marseille. His past conduct at Marseille reportedly caused tension, including lateness for meetings and missed sponsor events. He scored 23 goals across all competitions for Marseille last season, having joined them for over €26 million in July 2024.
