Marseille are now in advanced talks to sign the exiled Man Utd attacker, who has agreed to join the French giants having been attracted to the prospect of working with new manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed that Marseille are closing in on signing the former wonderkid.

"Man Utd are open to a permanent transfer or a loan, but the loan has to be with an obligation to buy, so it's basically the same thing, the only thing changing is about the payments."

"The discussion between Man Utd and Marseille is ongoing. Greenwood is keen on the move to Marseille, Greenwood knows that De Zerbi wants him strongly as a top priority for Marseille. I can guarantee that Marseille are giving total priority to this deal this week.

"They want to make it happen as soon as possible. Man Utd want a big sell-on clause to be included in the deal for Greenwood, so there are still some points to clarify. It's still not a done deal, but Marseille sent a proposal and are advancing in talks for Greenwood."

Lazio have pulled out of negotiations to sign Greenwood, leaving Marseille a free run to complete a deal for the forward.

Greenwood has interest from a number of other European clubs, including Juventus, Valencia and Barcelona but none of these have sent in official offers.

Greenwood to leave Man Utd?

Greenwood is certain to leave Manchester United this summer.

He joined Getafe on loan last summer after Manchester United concluded their investigation into the criminal charges he was facing last year, which have since been dropped.

United announced that Greenwood would look to continue his career away from Old Trafford, having not played a game since January 2022 following his arrest by police.

Greenwood impressed for Getafe. He scored 10 goals and got seven assists in 36 games in all competitions.

Sentiment among fans and the public in England is still negative towards Greenwood, making it easier for him to continue his career outside of the country.

This is an opinion that is shared by Greenwood himself, who wants to play in a foreign league.
