Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly eyeing Marcus Rashford as their primary target to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappe’s impending departure.
With Mbappe set to join Real Madrid, PSG faces the task of finding a suitable replacement in the summer transfer window.
Mbappe’s departure will free up significant funds as he was the highest-paid player at PSG. The club is likely to utilize these savings to secure a new striker.
Rashford has previously been on PSG’s radar, with interest shown in 2022 before he signed a new long-term contract with Manchester United.
Despite Rashford’s struggles this season under Erik ten Hag, PSG remains keen on the English forward.
Rashford has faced challenges on and off the field, scoring only seven goals in 34 appearances and facing disciplinary action from the club for an off-field incident.
However, PSG is undeterred by Rashford’s recent form and is willing to offer £75 million to bring him to France, according to reports from the Daily Mirror.
Despite Rashford’s loyalty to Manchester United, PSG believes they can persuade him to make the switch to Paris and fill the void left by Mbappe.
In an interview with The Players’ Tribune, Rashford expressed his unwavering commitment to Manchester United and his desire to help the club return to its former glory.
He emphasized his deep connection to the club, having grown up there and played for the team since childhood.
Rashford’s loyalty to his boyhood club adds a layer of complexity to PSG’s pursuit, but they remain confident in their ability to convince him to join.
Alternatively, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is also being considered as an option if Rashford decides to stay in the Premier League.
PSG is keeping their options open and exploring all possibilities to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
