JAKARTA - Mason Greenwood's exit from Old Trafford is getting closer. World football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said the player would leave Manchester United in a few days.

The 22-year-old forward will one step away from flying to France as Marseille is the most serious team in securing his services.

Greenwood, who won the 2023/2024 La Liga Player of the Year title on loan at Getafe, returned to the Red Devils training base in Carrington on Monday, July 8, 2024.

However, he did not train with the rest of the squad who had returned for pre-season training. He just had talks with high-ranking Manchester United.

Greenwood was told he had no future at the club despite allegations of attempted rape and attacks on him being canceled last year.

His performance in Spain last season made a number of teams hunt for his services.

The Daily Mail had reported that there were several names that were serious about targeting Greenwood.

"Marseille has outperformed Lazio, Atletico Madrid, and Valencia in a race to recruit Greenwood."

"Talks (with Marseille) are already in the advanced stages between the French giants and the Red Devils after filing a $27 million offer including a huge selling fee," the Daily Mail report reads.

Fabrizio Romano provided more detailed information regarding Greenwood's move to Marseille.

"Further about Mason Greenwood. After all, Manchester United will include a large sales clause into the deal."

"It could even reach 40 or 50 percent of future sales, the club is talking about that."

"Olympique Marseille, getting closer after the official offer was sent," Romano wrote on the X account.

Manchester United certainly need fresh funds to sign players this summer. They are already eyeing Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), which has been given a new offer, Matthijs de Ligt (Bayern Munich), Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee, and PSG midfielder from Uruguay, Manuel Ugarte.

Specifically for De Ligt, the Red Devils plan to complete their transfer after Euro 2024. Both clubs and players have also reached an agreement.

In addition, there is the name of the British star at Euro 2024, Marc Guehi, who is on the alternative list if they can't sign Branthwaite.

No wonder, apart from Greenwood, Manchester United will release several other names to balance finances.

Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek has almost joined Girona. Meanwhile Juventus led the hunt for Jadon Sancho for a value of 40 million pounds.

Sweden defender Victor Lindelof is also on the sell list. He has been in demand by the Turkish club, Fenerbahce.

Then, Galatasaray and West Ham compete to get wing-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Most recently, the name Facundo Pellistri was also reported to be leaving. He has been approached by Real Valladolid after his loan period at Granada last season.

Meanwhile, Manchester United is also eager to keep Brazil's midfielder Casemiro, who currently has a salary of 375,000 pounds per week.

The 32-year-old returned for pre-season training yesterday, but there are a number of Saudi Arabian clubs interested in him.

The update of the deal with Casemiro hinted that Scott McTominay could have left.

The 27-year-old Scottish midfielder impressed last season, but he was the target of Fulham and Everton, although the Red Devils are still reluctant to sell him.

McTominay is believed to want a regular place in the team. Manchester United has also rejected a 30 million offer from West Ham a year ago.
