Italian Pundits Question Stalled Negotiations Over Greenwood Fee
The future of English forward Mason Greenwood remains heavily clouded in uncertainty. While Marseille is eager to cash in on the player to boost their summer budget, Serie A giants AS Roma have been actively pursuing a deal for weeks without reaching a definitive breakthrough.
Negotiations have slowed down significantly due to a financial dispute over the player's market value. AS Roma have reportedly capped their opening bid at around 40 million euros, but Marseille's hierarchy is holding out for a significantly higher package, causing the deal to lose momentum.

Italian journalist Ilario Di Giovambattista voiced concerns over the delay, stating that spending too much time on a player without closing the deal suggests an underlying problem. Pundit Ugo Trani added that manager Gian Piero Gasperini could lose patience within days if negotiations remain frozen.
The ongoing delay could invite rival interest from other European clubs, which threatens Roma's summer recruitment strategy. Failing to land Greenwood would disrupt their tactical plans, leaving the Italian side scrambling for alternative targets before the pre-season window shuts.
