Apart from the upfront fee, Marseille will have to pay 40/50% of the sale amount that they would receive for Greenwood when they sell the player. This shows how much Man Utd values their star man. But, they cannot keep him in the squad. And, the reason is not related to football. But, Marseille is providing a great opportunity for Greenwood to shine. He needs to capitalize on this opportunity and get his football career back on track. His contract will be valid till 2029.
