What's the story
Turkish football club Fenerbahce have signed English forward Mason Greenwood from French club Marseille. The transfer fee is around €40m plus €2m add-ons. As per reports, Manchester United will get a sizeable cut after having inserted a sell-on clause when selling the player to Marseille. Greenwood had a stellar season in Ligue 1, finishing joint-second in the golden boot race with 16 goals. Here's more.
Transfer interest
Greenwood expresses gratitude to fans
Fenerbahce's presidential candidates, including the eventual winner Aziz Yildirim, and Hakan Safi, both showed interest in signing Greenwood before the elections at the start of June.
The English forward expressed his gratitude to the club's fans after completing his transfer.
"Hello Fenerbahce family, thank you so much for the support you have shown me. I am very happy to be here," he said.
Career trajectory
Greenwood scored 48 goals for Marseille
Greenwood, who scored 48 goals in 81 appearances for Marseille across all competitions, joined the French side from Manchester United in July 2024.
