Gasperini Asks Greenwood to Hold Off for Roma-Marseille Talks

Roma's head coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, is reportedly in direct contact with Marseille forward Mason Greenwood, urging the player to await official negotiations between the Italian club and the Ligue 1 side, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Gasperini is keen to overhaul his attacking lineup, a frequent complaint last season, and Greenwood has emerged as his top target for the Giallorossi. The forward is expected to be available for transfer this summer, and Roma hopes to finalize a deal in the coming weeks. However, the Roman club has yet to submit an official offer to Marseille, who value the striker at approximately 55 million euros. Roma's initial bid is likely to be around 40 million euros, including bonuses. Ideally, the Wolves would prefer to secure Greenwood on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy.
