Roma are making waves in the transfer market once again, with reports from Gazzetta dello Sport suggesting the Giallorossi are eyeing a blockbuster move for Mason Greenwood. The former Manchester United star has been tearing it up in Ligue 1 this season, racking up 26 goals and a slew of assists in 44 appearances for Marseille. Now, the Friedkin family—Roma's ambitious owners—might be ready to open the coffers wide, but there's a catch: Champions League qualification is likely a must for this deal to happen.

Greenwood's electric form has caught the eye of Roma's management, and according to TuttoMercatoWeb, Gian Piero Gasperini has already tabbed the 23-year-old as his top attacking target for the summer. Imagine pairing Greenwood with Donyell Malen, who's been one of Serie A's standout signings this season. Together, they'd form a forward line that could strike fear into any defense in Italian football. It's the kind of dynamic duo that could turn Roma into genuine contenders.

But here's the rub: Greenwood won't come cheap. Valued at around €50 million, and with Manchester United holding a sell-on clause from his move to Marseille, don't expect any discounts. Roma's relationship with Marseille is solid—just look at the smooth transfer of Robinio Vaz to the capital—but this price tag is steep even for the deep-pocketed Friedkins. It's a gamble that could pay off big, but only if the team secures that coveted top-four spot with just two games left in the season.

Roma's ownership has never shied away from splashy moves, as evidenced by past coups like Paulo Dybala and Romelu Lukaku. To fund a Greenwood-sized investment, the club might need to make some tough calls. Enter Matias Soulé and Manu Koné, both reportedly on the chopping block. The duo has attracted interest from elsewhere, and their departures could free up the cash needed to land a marquee name. If Roma can pull it off, this summer could be one for the history books in the Eternal City.
