In all competitions, he scored 48 goals in 81 matches in Olympian colors, actively participating in the great offensive dynamic of the Marseille club.
The transfer of the scorer did not take place in the shadows. Before the presidential elections in Fenerbahçe at the beginning of June, the two main candidates, Aziz Yildirim (ultimately elected) and Hakan Safi, had publicly expressed their desire to see Greenwood don the yellow and blue jersey. The player, warmly welcomed in Istanbul, was quick to send a message to his new supporters: “Hello to the Fenerbahçe family, thank you for the support you show me. I am very happy to be here. »

Greenwood's future remained in limbo since the decision of Manchester United, former training club, not to reinstate him in their squad despite the charges against him being dropped in February 2023. After a loan to Getafe during the 2023-2024 season, Greenwood was able to relaunch himself on the French lawns, pushing Marseille to exercise the purchase option. But Olympian finances and the Turkish offensive will have got the better of the duration of its stay in Ligue 1.
For Fenerbahçe, which finished second in the championship for the fifth consecutive season and is aiming for the group stage of the Champions League - with a test in the second preliminary round against the Poles of Gornik Zabrze - the arrival of Greenwood constitutes a decisive offensive weapon in the hope of reaching a milestone on the European scene. The transaction should also bring a clear capital gain to Manchester United, benefiting from a resale percentage of around 40% on the sum obtained.
With this major reinforcement, Fenerbahçe is already displaying its ambitions and Greenwood begins a new chapter in an eventful career, determined to return to the continental spotlight.

With the arrival of Greenwood, Fenerbahçe hopes to solidify its position in the Super Lig and prepare for a successful European campaign. Supporters are eagerly waiting to see how the striker will fit into the team and contribute to the offensive dynamic, especially after a season where the club finished runners-up.
