The race for Greenwood was previously a three-way battle, but Turkish giants Fenerbahce have seen their interest cool significantly. The club had initially brokered a lucrative deal that would have seen the forward earn €12 million per season. However, that agreement was contingent on the success of presidential candidate Hakan Safi, who ultimately lost the club’s recent leadership elections.
New president Aziz Yildirim remains an admirer of the player’s talent but is unwilling to match those astronomical financial terms. With the Turkish outfit effectively stepping back from the negotiating table, the battle for Greenwood has been narrowed down to a straight fight between the two Serie A heavyweights.
