Rashford’s Potential Departure from Manchester United
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is reportedly available for transfer this month after falling out of favour under manager Ruben Amorim. While the high cost of a permanent transfer limits potential suitors, several European clubs have shown interest in a loan deal.
AC Milan’s Formal Bid
AC Milan has emerged as a frontrunner in the race to sign Rashford, submitting a formal offer for an initial loan deal. According to The Athletic, Rashford’s agents traveled to Milan on Tuesday for negotiations, followed by confirmation from Gianluca Di Marzio about Milan’s bid.
The proposed deal includes an option for Milan to sign Rashford permanently at the end of the season. This structure could appeal to United, provided the financial terms are favourable.
Challenges in the Deal
One of the main hurdles in the negotiations is Rashford’s substantial wages, reportedly exceeding £300,000 per week. Milan cannot accommodate such figures within their budget and would require United to cover a significant portion of the salary to finalize the deal.
Interest from Other Clubs
AC Milan is not the only club pursuing Rashford. Borussia Dortmund is reportedly considering a straightforward loan arrangement without a permanent transfer clause, which may also interest United depending on the terms.
Additional Transfer Speculation at Manchester United
Rashford might not be the only attacker leaving Old Trafford in January. Reports suggest winger Antony is drawing interest for a potential loan move. Greek side Olympiacos is believed to be offering Antony a chance to rediscover his form, while Real Betis is also keen following the sale of Assane Diao to Como.
Conclusion
As Rashford’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain, AC Milan leads the charge for his signature with a structured loan-to-buy proposal. However, negotiations over wages and other suitors’ interest will shape the final outcome.
