Judging by that pic, maybe they got on too well

I'd be surprised if he opts for Saudi at this stage. Turns 24 this year, if he keeps performing well in France in the upcoming season then surely there'll be clubs in Spain/Italy looking to bring him in.
Arsenal clearly have no morals as we have seen recently…
Marseille value him so highly because they only get 50% of profit.
Whilst these sell on deals look good on paper, it often leads to clubs being more reluctant to deal. Zaha at Palace would be one example, and Guehi could be another example. The reality being that the club is more willing to let the player run down their contract.
Trying his best to build the cash for United. As far as I know he didn’t like greenwood’s attitude or professionalism when he was at United
No, them's the rules here, you are looking for a separate forum.
Would be great to see Greenwood go to Saudi so we get the sell on but I doubt he'll move this summer
They'll be reluctant to sell but also wary of him leaving on free at end of contract
Marseille going to CL will give him a platform for hopefully a bigger move next year

Looks like Marseille are after Edon Zhegrova from Lille (also a RW) so maybe this one is a goer. If fees are to be believed, we'd get about £24m.
Yes OM. Take them to the cleaners!
Could be a big unexpected payday for us with 50% sell on
All I’m talking about is cause we have a sell on clause and we get £50m if he gets sold for a £100m.
Gotcha. It’s 50% of profit though. We’ll probably net £20-30m at best when he moves.
Wait profit or any selling fees? I thought it was the later?
Profit. Unfortunately.
Hoping he really lights out to this season and becomes a 100 million striker. We could really do with the money
Newcastle can buy him. They need a striker, they have the money and they quite obviously have no morals.
Really don’t want to see him back in the PL.
The clause is for 50% of the profit. So, could still be a nice potential windfall for United.
I am sure he won’t be back, I was being a little facetious, his future is at Marseille or somewhere else where he is out of the limelight.
Yeah I think so as well. Saudi seems the only real chance we have to net a significant sell-on fee.
No we don’t. We get 50% of the profits not 50% of the total fee.
He would certainly be a statement signing.
That 50% sell on was a master stroke. I'm surprised they agreed to that.
Profit, otherwise Marseille’s could potentially make a loss on his sale just through the clause.
If he moved for 75m for example, that’d be 50% of the profit or 50% of 50m. So a 25m windfall. Meaning overall we’d have brought in 50m from his sale over the two transfers.
Likewise if he moves for 30m we get 2.5m and 27.5m overall. We should all bee hoping he gets a big fee move to SA as we can potentially make more from Greenwood’s sell on clause than we can from selling Sancho and Antony combined when you factor in book value.
It’s 50% of the profit but Saudi is probably the best option financially for us as they will pay over the odds
What's not to like? We'd get paid and he'd feck off to oblivion.
Would we get pure profit from that sell-on?
if that sale happens and you sell garnacho....both are pure profit to our PSR which would allow the club to spend whatever they would need to add a striker, mid and gk

Is Ronaldo the manager now? Didn’t he wanted Joao Felix and then signed him and then now he wants Greenwood?
I'm not convinced about the rumoured sell-on clause. Marseille originally bought 50% of his economic rights which might be where that came from, they've since bought around 10% more. So I would guess that we will get 40% of any fee as we still own that much.
I think his new context gives him a say on transfers
Wouldn't that be even better for us?
40% of the whole fee rather than 50% of the profit?
Their director of football is mates with Jorge Mendes
That would be better. But I cannot imagine that we own any proportion of his ‘economic rights’, and he’s been fully transferred to Marseille.
Marseille's president confirmed this at a press conference in May.

"Longoria did not directly address whether Manchester United will receive 50% of any future transfer fee or only a share of the capital gain."
Thanks.
Have done some digging and there is a suggestion that not only do we have 40% economic rights, but we also have a sell on clause of 50%.
So Marseille would need to sell for approx £78m to make a £10m profit.
so that £26.7m fee effectively has him valued at twice that when we sold him.
If they do sell him, it would end up a bloody marvellous deal for us. Although Getaffe are potentially entitled to 20% of what we receive!
Why wouldn’t they? It’s 50% of the profit so they may never sell him if he keeps scoring and loves life there. Plus they got a highly rated young striker for peanuts
They had us over a barrel really. Think they were the only club in for him. 26m plus a 50% sell on was good business for us when he was never going to play for us again.
Again, 50% of profit.
