Paris Saint-Germain have their sights set on a number of big-name attacking players, including Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, and two transfer targets from Arsenal.
Sources with a good understanding of the situation have reported Caught offside that PSG remain interested in Rashford after holding talks with him in the past, although there could now be a problem in agreeing a deal.
Man Utd want £50m to let Rashford go, but his recent dip in form and public criticism from Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim will likely mean clubs are unwilling to pay that much.
Arsenal HAVE CLEARED to land Chelsea star in shock deal!
Caught offside They have been told that PSG could be interested in Rashford, but not at that price, which is why the Ligue 1 giants are looking at a number of other attacking talents.
PSG are eyeing Viktor Gyokeres as an alternative to Marcus Rashford
Viktor Gyokeres is one of the names on PSG’s roster and is undoubtedly one of the most exciting attacking players in world football right now after an impressive record 70 goals in just 75 games during his time with the Sporting Lisbon.
As well as Gyokeres, PSG are also considering Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Wolves’ Matheus Cunha, and it’s fair to say that all of those probably look a lot more tempting than Rashford right now.
Gyokeres has also been watched by Arsenal in recent times, and the Gunners urgently need a striker like that to improve on unconvincing players like Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli.
Cunha is another similar player on Arsenal’s radar For now, the north London giants are likely hoping that PSG can find a way to sign Rashford and make those two players available.
Still, PSG have the resources to chase just about anyone they want, so there’s no need for them to settle on Rashford just because he looks set to become an interesting prospect on the market.
