With no real chance of continuing his Man United career, Marcus Rashford looks ready to move on to his next challenge, and his latest suitors have the edge over everyone else.
BBC Sports are reporting that Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli are interested in the England international’s services, while Arsenal have made a call to Man United about Rashford i Barcelona could give Rashford a great opportunity in the League
Despite being underdogs with Ruben Amorim, it is clear that the 27-year-old has no end of admirers.
Marcus Rashford watched by Monaco
All the nominees are likely to fall behind in the race after AS Monaco entered the race.
That’s because, like The Telegraph (subscription required) note that the principality has no income tax, meaning the Ligue One club are in the best position to pay Rashford’s hefty £300,000-a-week wages (capology).
With just under three weeks left of the January transfer window, there is plenty of time to get a deal done, however, and the player and his representatives may need to consider reducing their personal demands.
Wage expectations must be reviewed if Marcus Rashford wants to move
Rashford has been woefully out of form in front of goal this season, with transfer market noting that he has just four goals and one assist from 15 Premier League games in which he has appeared.
To that end, still resisting top dollar in transfer negotiations is not a tactic likely to impress the clubs vying for his signature.
A loan deal with an option to buy is the most likely scenario for the player this month, and perhaps the carrot of performance-related bonuses as part of any future contract, to bring his remuneration back to an acceptable level, is the way to get a deal above the line.
