Mason Greenwood has left Manchester United to join Marseille on a permanent transfer.
The French club has agreed to pay £26.6m (€31.6 million) for the 22-year-old striker, who has signed a five-year contract.
United have also inserted a significant sell-on clause into the deal, which is said to be between 40 and 50 percent.
Lazio also made an offer to buy Greenwood, but were unable to match the amount paid by Marseille.
Manchester United said in a brief statement: “We wish Mason all the best in his future career.”
Greenwood, who spent last season on loan at Spanish La Liga club Getafe, had not played for United since his arrest in January 2022.
He was charged in October 2022 with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault, but denied any wrongdoing. He was also arrested for breaching his bail conditions the same day.
In February 2023, all charges against Greenwood were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service after key witnesses withdrew their involvement and new evidence emerged.
In August 2023, after a six-month process overseen by an executive panel, United mutually agreed that it was best for Greenwood to continue his career away from Old Trafford.
INEOS, which took control of United’s football operations in December 2023 after buying a minority stake in the club, has now overseen his departure.
Greenwood began playing for United’s youth teams at the age of nine and progressed through the club’s academy to senior football, making his debut aged 17 in March 2019.
