Manchester United itself knows that it is impossible to keep Greenwood, and the problem of the Red Devils prince is not a problem of strength on the field, but the current Greenwood can bring a lot of improvement to Manchester United, but he is not accepted by some Manchester United fans and cannot continue to stay in the team's squad. According to the English media, although many clubs have expressed interest in Greenwood, Marseille is the first club to enter the final negotiations, ahead of many Serie A clubs including Juventus and Lazio.
Judging from the previous news, Manchester United's price tag for Mason Greenwood reached 50 million pounds, but this price is difficult to accept by other clubs. With only one year left on Greenwood's contract and the player not returning, United are not in a position to stick to that price, so they have to find a way out of other ways. According to the current news, Manchester United accepted Marseille's offer of 30 million euros, but asked for a second transfer share of the player in the contract, which would reach up to 50%.
The second transfer share means that the player transfers again after joining a new team, and Manchester United can still get a lot of transfer fee income, which is the best option for Manchester United today, and of course, it can also show their confidence in Greenwood. At this stage, it will be difficult for Greenwood to sell for too high a price, but Manchester United can obtain higher income by increasing the proportion of secondary transfers, and the current negotiations between the two sides are focused on the proportion of the share, and whether United's demands are met depends on the outcome of the negotiations.
On the whole, Manchester United's acceptance of the low price of 30 million euros is a temporary loss, but it will be difficult for Greenwood to stay in the Ligue 1 squad for a long time after his price in Marseille in the future, and there may not be no possibility of joining other giants. Even if they can't return to Manchester United, there are other options, and United can then reap the benefits of Greenwood's transfer through a hefty secondary transfer share, a deal that is acceptable for all three parties, but only prolongs the time to recoup Greenwood's transfer fee.
For Mason Greenwood, Marseille is already one of the most desirable options these days, and Ligue 1 is a great place for young players to develop, after all, Greenwood is only 22 years old. For Marseille, being able to sign a talented player like Greenwood for a transfer fee of 30 million euros is still very obvious to the team. As for Manchester United, the transfer fee of 30 million euros is indeed not high enough, but when Greenwood is worth it, they will still be able to smooth out the "low price" loss through the transfer of players.
