Greenwood to Fenerbahçe as Roma falls away from race

Mason Greenwood's move to Fenerbahçe is complete, ending Roma's pursuit of the Marseille winger. The Turkish club will pay 40 million euros plus 2 million in bonuses, with Greenwood earning 10 million euros per season. Manchester United confirmed it will not activate its buyback clause and will receive more than 10 million euros from a resale clause built into the deal.

Roma emerged as an interested party in early July when head coach Gian Piero Gasperini identified Greenwood—who scored 26 goals and provided 10 assists for Marseille this season—as the quality addition needed to close the gap with title contenders. The Friedkin Group intervened directly on 4 July, with the club plotting an opening offer over a three-day window from Monday to Wednesday. However, the competition proved too fierce. Atlético Madrid submitted an official bid and remained in contention throughout, while Fenerbahçe consistently matched and exceeded Roma's willingness to spend. Greenwood's preference for a move to Turkey, combined with the salary package on offer (initially reported as 8 million euros annually plus bonuses, and later 10 million per season), tilted negotiations decisively in Fenerbahçe's favour.

Marseille president Stephan Richard had emphasized the club's need to sell premium assets without offering discounts, stating: "We must separate from some players to restore financial balance and drastically reduce the wage bill. We cannot maintain a squad with total salaries above 100 million per year. However, I refuse to sell our best players at clearance prices." The deal was confirmed on 13 July.

Roma submit opening bid for Garnacho as push for Summerville continues

Roma have tabled their first offer to Chelsea for Alejandro Garnacho as they look to strengthen Gasperini's squad for the Champions League. The proposal consists of a loan with a 5 million euro fee plus 35 million euros in a buyout clause that would become mandatory under certain conditions. Garnacho is not the only target on Roma's radar. The club continues to pursue Summerville from West Ham after the Dutch winger's move to Manchester United fell through, with the player being offered to Roma once again. Arsenal and other top clubs are also tracking Tzolis from Club Brugge, though Roma remain interested in the Belgian club's player. Roma are additionally working on a deal for Diego Moreira, with an offer reported to be close to 30–35 million euros plus a percentage of future sale revenue.
