Mason Greenwood has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo has had a profound impact on his career following his high-profile transfer to Fenerbahçe for £33.3million following a stellar 26-goal season at Marseille. The English forward, now 24, has become one of the standout signings in the Turkish Super Lig this summer, joining a league that will also include major names like Leandro Trossard and Mohamed Salah.
Greenwood’s journey has been marked by stints at Getafe, Marseille and now Fenerbahçe, as he continues his quest to establish himself among Europe’s elite after leaving Manchester United, where he scored 22 goals for the Red Devils. Despite facing challenges in Europe’s top five leagues, his recent form has piqued interest in his abilities, with impressive tallies of 48 goals and 17 assists in 81 appearances in all competitions over the past two seasons.
In his latest interview, Greenwood did not hesitate to credit Cristiano Ronaldo as a major source of inspiration. “I actually learned a lot of things from Cristiano Ronaldo,” Greenwood said, reflecting on the dedication and professionalism that defines the Portuguese superstar. Discussing Ronaldo’s remarkable longevity, still performing at the age of 41, Greenwood elaborated: “He has complete attention to every little detail. He works 100%, he’s incredibly focused on football, and that’s why he’s one of the best players in the world. He’s still performing at such a high level at his age because he pays attention to every little detail.”
Greenwood’s move to Fenerbahçe signals both a new chapter in his career and a significant boost for Turkish football, which has attracted a wave of international talent this summer. As he prepares to make his mark alongside the new arrivals in the Super Lig, Greenwood’s focus and determination – which he attributes in part to learning from Ronaldo – will be in the spotlight in Istanbul.
With expectations rising and his career gaining momentum again, Greenwood is determined to build on his recent performances and prove himself at the highest level. The forward’s praise for Ronaldo’s work ethic and constant pursuit of excellence provides a clear insight into the mindset driving his ambitions as he embarks on this new challenge with Fenerbahce.
