The Athletic claim Mason Greenwood has agreed personal terms and accepted a move to Olympique Marseille from Manchester United, cutting out Lazio, Napoli and Juventus.
While Marseille had already worked out a transfer fee with Manchester United last week, the player was hesitating and keeping everyone on edge.
He was partially stalling due to the denunciation from the Mayor of Marseille and many fans, who protested they did not want him at the Ligue 1 side due to his past domestic abuse charges.
This allowed Lazio, Napoli and Juventus to remain potentially in the race to sign the Manchester United outcast this summer.
However, this afternoon it is suggested that Greenwood has accepted the transfer and agreed personal terms, so it is effectively now a done deal.
He still needs to fly in, pass a medical and sign the contract, but the hard work is complete for Roberto De Zerbi’s side.
They are paying €27.6m plus €4m in add-ons and giving Manchester United up to 50 per cent of the sell-on fee.
