Marcus Rashford has revealed his preferred next club when be leaves Manchester United, according to reports.
Earlier this week, Rashford hinted at his desire to leave Old Trafford, expressing that he is seeking a ‘new challenge.’
‘When I leave it’s going to be, “no hard feelings”. You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me as a person,’ Rashford told Henry Winter. ..Continue Reading
‘If I know that a situation is already bad I’m not going to make it worse. I’ve seen how other players have left in the past and I don’t want to be that person.
‘When I leave I’ll make a statement and it will be from me.’
However, Rashford’s options are limited, as few clubs can afford his £325,000-a-week salary.
Paris Saint-Germain are early favorites to sign the 27-year-old, though they have passed on two previous opportunities to do so.
According to The Telegraph, Rashford prefers a move to either Barcelona or Real Madrid, but the chances of either club making an offer appear slim at this point.
Barcelona’s financial situation remains fragile, while Real Madrid has a strong attacking lineup and is focused on maximizing Kylian Mbappe’s impact.
The report also suggests that Rashford will receive an offer from the Saudi Pro League, with top clubs such as Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, and Al-Ahli showing interest.
It is understood that Manchester United would seek a fee of £40 million for the forward, who was excluded from England’s Euro 2024 squad earlier this year.
In his response to Rashford’s views on his future at Old Trafford, United boss Ruben Amorim said on Wednesday: ‘This kind of club needs big talent and he’s a big talent.
‘He just needs to perform at the highest level. That is my focus. I just want to help Marcus.
‘What I want is to take the best of Marcus Rashford and the other players. I don’t talk about the future. I talk about the present.
‘I want to best of each of them. I just want to win and help the team to be better.
‘We are better with Marcus Rashford, that’s simple and we try our best to push Marcus Rashford to the level he is at before.’
