Manchester United has given up on re-signing Greenwood, waiting to collect a £10 million sell-on fee! But they can hardly profit from Garnacho's transfer.

The deal for Mason Greenwood to join Turkish side Fenerbahçe is nearing completion, because Manchester United has stated they are waiving their priority buyback option. Consequently, Marseille in Ligue 1 will proceed with the transfer to Fenerbahçe, and the Red Devils will receive a portion of the future resale value.

Since Greenwood's contract with Marseille included not only a sell-on clause for United but also a buyback option, the French club had to inform the Red Devils before any sale. United could have matched the offer to re-sign their former academy striker, but they declined.

However, Manchester United informed Marseille that they had no intention of bringing Greenwood back, so Marseille can now move forward with Fenerbahçe. According to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, United is expected to receive over £10 million from the transfer fee.

Romano stated: "Manchester United have informed Marseille that they will not activate Greenwood's buyback clause. Fenerbahçe and Marseille will now officially start transfer negotiations. Once a final agreement is reached, Greenwood will head to Istanbul. United are expected to earn more than £10 million through the sell-on clause."

Greenwood has agreed to a four-year contract with Fenerbahçe, and the Turkish club is expected to pay €45 million for his transfer. Another transfer expert, Ben Jacobs, said that the Saudi Pro League is attempting to hijack the deal, but they may not be able to convince the player to join.

Ben Jacobs commented: "Fenerbahçe are currently optimistic about signing Greenwood, but Al-Ahli tried to hijack the move today. Fenerbahçe have reached a principle agreement with Marseille and believe the player is willing to join. However, Al-Ahli spoke with Greenwood today. It is said that their coach, Matthias Jaissle, has directly communicated with the player. Saudi league transfer brokers are aware that Fenerbahçe's deal is progressing well, but negotiations are still ongoing."

Manchester United sold Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea last season for £40 million. The Argentine winger has also underperformed at Stamford Bridge, losing his place and now potentially being sold by the Blues this summer. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that new Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has not even included Garnacho in the squad training list, and the club is working with his agent to find a new club.

Some British media outlets have assumed that if Garnacho is transferred, Manchester United would profit, mentioning a 10% secondary sell-on clause. Unfortunately, United will hardly get any money, and may even get nothing at all. This is because Garnacho's sell-on clause, unlike Greenwood's, only applies to the profit portion of the new club's resale. Since "Little Joe" (Garnacho) would likely be sold at a loss for Chelsea, there would be no profit to share.

According to Romano, Chelsea has set two prices for Garnacho. If sold to a club outside the Premier League, the fee is €50 million (£42.5 million). If sold to a Premier League club, the price is £45 million (€53 million).

Assuming Garnacho is sold for £42.5 million, the profit would be £2.5 million, and United would receive 10% of that, i.e., £250,000—barely enough to cover one week's wages for Mason Mount, who came from Chelsea! Moreover, Chelsea's asking price has been mocked by fans. One fan joked: "£42.5 million for Garnacho? That's blatant extortion! Who would pay that? Hilarious, £21 million is more like it."

Another fan had an even sharper view of the 22-year-old Argentine winger: "Even Garnacho would be surprised by his own price tag: I'm still worth £43 million?"

However, British media reports that the relationship between Chelsea and Garnacho remains good, and they are working together to find a solution. Several clubs are interested in him, and all parties are exploring these opportunities through ongoing negotiations. Progress is said to be very smooth, and significant developments could occur within the next two weeks.

Nevertheless, it is basically impossible for Garnacho to be sold for a high price. Romano continued: "Chelsea are preparing to let Garnacho leave on a permanent transfer this summer. They are not considering a loan."

Ben Jacobs added: "There are currently no club-to-club negotiations, but there is indeed interest from some teams. For example, Roma has made contact. However, the Serie A club only wants a loan, while Chelsea wants to sell. Potential destinations for Garnacho exist in England, Italy, and Saudi Arabia. Like André Santos, who is about to join Manchester United, Garnacho wants more starting opportunities, which Chelsea cannot guarantee."
