Marseille faces €157m losses and risks UEFA sanctions; Roma tracking Greenwood

Source: Forza Roma

Olympique Marseille is facing severe financial sanctions from UEFA after accumulating net losses of approximately €157 million over the past three seasons. The French club breached a regulatory agreement signed in 2022, and the situation has deteriorated sharply: a deficit of €12.7 million in 2022–23 rose to €39.1 million in 2023–24 before reaching €105 million in 2024–25. Marseille will be heard by the DNCG (French football's financial watchdog) by 18 June. The potential penalties could extend to exclusion from the upcoming Europa League, and the club faces a possible wage cap freeze or reduction.

The financial crisis has forced Marseille to seek urgent sales to generate revenue. Roma remains closely monitoring the situation and has been in contact with the French club for several days regarding Mason Greenwood, the English forward targeted by Gian Piero Gasperini to strengthen the attacking department. The move represents a significant opportunity for Roma if Marseille's financial constraints force them to offload the player.
