Anti-Greenwood petition exposed as fake campaign by Fenerbahçe supporters
A petition against the signing of Mason Greenwood by Roma has been revealed as fraudulent, with investigation showing most signatures came from fake Turkish profiles rather than genuine Roma fans. The #NoGreenwood campaign, launched on the iPetitions platform, aimed to block Greenwood's transfer due to past accusations of violence and abuse—later withdrawn—made by his former partner. Analysis of the signatories uncovered numerous fabricated Turkish accounts with implausible names and poor Italian, with genuine Roma fan signatures numbering only a handful. The orchestrated campaign is attributed to Fenerbahçe supporters, as the Turkish club had previously attempted to sign Greenwood weeks earlier and reportedly hopes for another push from their management. In Rome, meanwhile, the majority of Roma supporters back the acquisition of the Marseille player. Roma has prepared an offer of around €50 million and reached a preliminary agreement with Greenwood, facilitated by the involvement of head coach Gasperini. The transfer negotiations are described as advancing significantly despite the anti-Greenwood petition. The revelation underscores broader tensions surrounding Greenwood's potential move to Serie A, with competing clubs attempting various tactics to influence the outcome. Roma's board appears committed to the signing despite external pressure and the historical controversy surrounding the player.
