There are increasing rumours that, should Barcelona fail to get Marcus Rashford directly from Manchester United, Milan and Paris Saint-Germain will be interested in him. The 28-year-old is on loan at Barcelona until the end of the season with a €30 million buy option, although his contract with Manchester United expires in June 2028.
With 10 goals and 13 assists in 39 competitive games for the Blaugrana, he has rejuvenated his career; yet, this does not guarantee that the team will make the transfer permanent. If that doesn’t work out, there are other options: Milan and PSG are suggested by Mundo Deportivo in Spain and Caught Offside in England.
The Rossoneri already field a number of England internationals, including Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Santiago Gimenez has let them down, and Niclas Fullkrug is unlikely to be bought outright following his loan from West Ham United; therefore, they are also searching for a new striker. Additionally, Rashford has previously been connected to a possible Serie A transfer to Milan.
AC Milan and PSG make Marcus Rashford decision as Barcelona dither
Before Rashford joined Barcelona, AC Milan considered making a move for him. PSG is also believed to be a fan of the 28-year-old. Milan and PSG are reportedly “looking very closely” at Rashford in the event that he becomes available, according to CaughtOffside.
But in the upcoming weeks and months, more teams are probably going to join the competition. “Barcelona are backtracking on Rashford now,” a source is said to have informed CaughtOffside. It’s still unclear whether they’ve completely slammed the door, whether they’ll attempt to negotiate a cheaper cost, or whether Rashford may need to reduce his pay expectations.
According to reports, Barcelona’s financial situation is an issue, which has made it possible for Rashford to go. He would want to remain at Camp Nou, but there are a lot of obstacles to go past. On April 13, United will welcome bitter rivals Leeds United at Old Trafford for their next game.
