Under United’s 50% sell-on arrangement, the club would receive half of the profit from Greenwood’s sale (not the total transfer fee). If Marseille sells him for €50m, United stands to gain roughly €12.5m from the profit, plus a share of add-ons, pushing United’s total earnings from Greenwood to about £35m. This potential windfall would count as pure profit and could alleviate cash-flow pressures while supporting United’s broader financial recovery and transfer activity.
Key takeaways:
– Sell-on terms could deliver a significant boost if Greenwood’s price reaches €50m plus add-ons.
– United stands to receive around half of the profit from the sale, estimated at about €12.5m plus add-ons, contributing to ~£35m in total earnings.
– Marseille’s pricing and ongoing interest from clubs like Fenerbahce influence potential outcomes, with financial implications for United’s balance sheet and transfer strategy.
