The story today is a deal half-built. Roma have agreed personal terms with Mason Greenwood — a contract to 2031 worth around €5m a year plus bonuses — and the 24-year-old England attacker is named as their top target this summer. But that is the player's side only. Roma have not yet opened formal club-to-club talks with Marseille, who hold Greenwood on a long deal until June 2029 and value him at roughly €55m, well above Roma's stated ceiling of around €40m. No official bid has been made. The sourcing is solid for the player agreement, thinner for the deal itself. Nicolo Schira and Corriere dello Sport both report the contract accord, and ESPN FC and Alfredo Pedulla — a high-credibility voice — confirm Greenwood as Roma's primary target. Foot Mercato and Abdellah Boulma are clear, though, that there is no full club agreement and no "here-we-go". The 42% reading means this is genuinely in the balance: more likely to stall than to sail through, but far from dead. For it to complete, Roma must bridge a real gap — their roughly £40m ceiling against Marseille's roughly £55m valuation — and start formal talks they have so far avoided. Personal terms agreed is not a deal done; that is exactly why the number sits where it does. The fee under discussion, £37.4m to £52.8m, fits Roma's recent spending. They paid £36m to Sampdoria in 2018 and £35m to Girona in 2024 — proof this kind of money is in keeping for them. Watch for Roma's first formal bid to Marseille. That, or any sign OM will lower their valuation, is the trigger that moves this on.
