Greenwood deal agreed, but Roma aren't backing down
Fenerbahçe have reached an agreement with Mason Greenwood, but the transfer is far from done. Roma are also in the fight, and this is shaping up as a proper tug-of-war between the two clubs (3). Greenwood is exactly the kind of statement signing both presidential candidates have been promising, and landing him ahead of a Serie A side would be a serious signal of intent. No contract signed yet, but the agreement is in place.

Andrew Robertson has officially signed for Tottenham. Fenerbahçe had the Scottish left-back on their list, but he will not be coming to Kadıköy (2) (4). A missed opportunity, especially with the squad rebuild that is clearly on the agenda this summer.
Safi promises Maldini as football chief

Fan reactions
The Greenwood news has set the fanbase alight. Supporters are split between excitement over the player's quality and nerves about Roma's involvement, nobody wants to lose a transfer battle to an Italian club. Over on the Sporting CP subreddit, there is chatter that Gonçalo Inácio could also be on the move this summer, with Fenerbahçe and AC Milan both mentioned as interested parties link.
