Reports Link Man United to Greenwood Buy-Back as €100m Al-Hilal Bid Is Claimed

United’s retained buy-back and sell-on clauses shape the financial stakes around any future move.

Overview

  • Football Insider reports that Manchester United officials have internally discussed re-signing Mason Greenwood and that a buy-back clause from his 2024 sale to Marseille could enable a below-market return.
  • Football365 cites Spanish outlet Fichajes in claiming Marseille have received a €100m (£87m) offer from Al-Hilal, with the French club reportedly unwilling to sell; no bid has been confirmed by the clubs.
  • Manchester Evening News reports United hold a substantial sell-on clause in the Marseille deal, widely reported to be around 50%, which would deliver a significant share of any future profit.
  • AS, via Manchester Evening News, reports Getafe were granted a 20% cut of any profit United make from a Greenwood resale and that Getafe have put this stake on the market to ease financial pressures.
  • Greenwood’s form at Marseille remains strong with 42 goals in 63 games, but England manager Thomas Tuchel has said he is not under consideration for selection at present.
