Pablo Longoria Says He Sought His Mother's Advice on Mason Greenwood Signing, Details Sell-On Structure

The OM president casts Greenwood’s future as a financial question shaped by specific clauses that would govern any transfer.

Overview

  • Longoria told The Telegraph he consulted his mother before approving Greenwood’s 2024 move, saying he stands by the decision despite reputational criticism.
  • Marseille hold 60% of Greenwood’s economic rights with a pathway to 65% and a further 5% linked to Champions League qualification, while Manchester United retain a sell-on percentage that can be reduced if OM qualify.
  • Greenwood remains under contract until 2029 and is in prolific form this season, leading the Ligue 1 scoring charts after a standout first campaign in Marseille.
  • Longoria said any decision on Greenwood’s next step will factor in Marseille’s financial context and alignment with the player, leaving the door open to a future sale if conditions suit.
  • Reporting indicates Manchester United have discussed internally whether to use a buy-back option, with no public move or timetable confirmed.
