The former Red Devils forward joined the Turkish team on a four-year deal, keeping him under contract until the summer of 2030.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The transfer fee involved is said to be in the region of \u00a333m, meaning United will benefit financially from the move. That&#8217;s because Greenwood had a 40 per cent sell-on clause inserted into his contract when he joined Marseille in 2024. As a result, the Premier League giants will receive around \u00a313m in his subsequent move to Turkey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Those figures will be welcomed at Old Trafford, especially after United spent a total of \u00a385m to sign Andrej Santos and Youri Tielemans from Chelsea and Aston Villa respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>However, according to The Athletic, a significant portion of that sum will immediately go to Getafe, who will receive 20% of Greenwood&#8217;s latest transfer fee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The arrangement was established when Forward moved to Spain in 2022 after his arrest on charges of attempted rape, assault and controlling behavior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The suit has since been dropped and Greenwood has denied all allegations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>He played brilliantly for both Getafe and Marseille. During his loan spell in Spain, he played 36 games, scoring 10 goals and providing 6 assists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>As a result, Marseille decided to transfer him the following summer. Over the past two seasons, Greenwood has appeared in a total of 81 games, finding the back of the net 48 times and dishing out 17 assists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"photo changeSpace\">\n<p class=\"withoutCaption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoomEnabled\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/1200x712\/secondary\/GettyImages-2265853766-1-7042621.jpg?r=1784122862391\" alt=\"United would benefit financially from Greenwood's move to T\u00fcrkiye\" title=\"United would benefit financially from Greenwood's move to T\u00fcrkiye\" width=\"590\" height=\"393\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"newsCaption\">United would benefit financially from Greenwood&#8217;s move to T\u00fcrkiye <span class=\"caption\">(Image: GETTY)<\/span><span class=\"magnifier\" data-img=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/1200x712\/secondary\/GettyImages-2265853766-1-7042621.jpg?r=1784122862391\"\/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Given that Greenwood is an Old Trafford academy graduate, both the initial transfer fee United receives and the proceeds from the sell clause will be recorded as pure profit under Premier League financial rules.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The forward has previously received glowing praise from former Marseille and current Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Back in December, he said: &#8220;I see him every day and he has great potential. There is no other player in Europe at the same level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;He has the potential to win the Ballon d&#8217;Or. It&#8217;s up to him to do everything he can to achieve that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;I think he deserves the Ballon d&#8217;Or on the level of qualities that nature and his parents have given him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;We want him to be more consistent. We know he needs to press with more intensity and he needs to manage the ball better when the team is in a pinch. He needs to not lose the ball easily and keep the ball for the team to move up, because he has the ability to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Express sports on FB!
