Is Marcus Rashford moving to PSG this summer? Latest transfer news and rumors
PSG ready to test Manchester United with £75 million bid for Marcus Rashford
Paris Saint-Germain are poised to challenge Manchester United’s determination to keep forward Marcus Rashford this summer by submitting a £75 million offer. The French powerhouse is gearing up for a second attempt at acquiring Rashford to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappe, who is on the brink of departing PSG for Real Madrid.
PSG’s previous attempt to sign Rashford and his recent struggles
Back in 2022, PSG made a concerted effort to secure the services of Rashford and were willing to offer him a substantial contract worth £400,000 per week. However, Rashford opted to remain at United and had a stellar season, scoring 30 goals, which resulted in a new long-term contract until 2028, valued at £350,000 per week.
Nevertheless, Rashford has encountered challenges this season, only managing to score seven goals in 34 appearances for United. He has also faced off-field obstacles, including a public reprimand from United manager Erik ten Hag for celebrating his birthday at a Manchester nightclub following a defeat to local rivals City.
PSG’s renewed bid for Rashford and United’s response
Given Rashford’s current situation at United, PSG is confident that they can capitalize on his circumstances by launching a fresh bid to secure his services, with an initial offer of £75 million. While United values Rashford closer to £100 million, they may be enticed by the offer, particularly amid financial fair play regulations limiting their transfer expenditures.
Rashford’s potential move and PSG’s interest
Rashford’s status as a home-grown talent and his ties with United mean that any transfer fee would be viewed as pure profit under Premier League rules, granting the club more leeway in reinforcing the squad. Despite Rashford reaffirming his commitment to United in a recent interview, PSG remains optimistic about persuading him to join them in Paris, alongside monitoring Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.
A new beginning may hold appeal for Rashford, given the challenges he has faced on and off the pitch this season, making it a difficult period for the young forward.
