Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly considering a significant move to secure the services of Manchester United’s standout player, Marcus Rashford, during the forthcoming summer transfer window.
The French club aims to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappe’s anticipated departure from Parc des Princes, with the forward expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer as his contract with PSG expires in June, and no plans for an extension have been confirmed.
With Mbappe’s impending exit, PSG is actively seeking a marquee signing to enhance their attacking options, with Liverpool’s Luis Diaz also under consideration.
However, recent developments suggest that PSG has shifted its focus to Rashford, despite his inconsistent performances this season, acknowledging his significance to Manchester United.
Although Rashford’s goal-scoring output this season has been lower compared to the previous campaign, PSG regards him as a crucial target for their post-Mbappe era.
Reports from the Daily Mirror indicate that PSG is prepared to make a substantial offer to tempt Rashford away from Old Trafford, with rumors suggesting a potential £75m bid, although Manchester United values him closer to £100m.
Despite signing a contract extension last summer, there have been murmurs of discontent surrounding Rashford’s situation at Manchester United, exacerbated by incidents such as his absence from training following a night out in Northern Ireland.
With PSG poised to pursue Rashford, the decision could ultimately lie with Manchester United’s new minority shareholder, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, as the summer transfer window approaches, making this a development worth closely monitoring.
