BREAKING NEWS: “PSG wanted me last two years, but I refused because of how much I love this club. But after what this club did to me, I have decided to take a new challenge and move on”-BREAKING NEWS: PSG bid £75m dollars for Marcus Rashford as they plan to complete the attackers deal before transfer windows opens.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are reportedly hesitant to meet Manchester United’s £50 million asking price for Marcus Rashford, despite their interest in signing the forward.
According to CaughtOffside, PSG are eager to bring Rashford to Paris but are unwilling to pay the substantial fee United are demanding. The 27-year-old, once regarded as one of the world’s top forwards, has seen his role at Old Trafford diminish in recent seasons, leading to uncertainty about his future at the club.
Rashford’s form has declined significantly, with inconsistent performances and off-field controversies drawing criticism. Under new manager Ruben Amorim, the academy graduate has fallen out of favor. He was notably dropped for the Manchester derby and later hinted at a desire for a fresh challenge. Despite Amorim publicly labeling him a key player, Rashford’s exclusion from the squad for United’s Carabao Cup clash with Tottenham has only heightened speculation about his frustrations and desire to leave.
PSG’s Position
Reports indicate that both Ruben Amorim and Manchester United’s part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe are open to selling Rashford if their £50 million valuation is met. PSG, who have long admired the England international, recently renewed their interest in signing him.
The Ligue 1 champions are on the lookout for a top-tier forward to bolster Luis Enrique’s team, and Rashford remains a leading candidate. However, his recent struggles with form and public criticism have made PSG reluctant to match United’s high price tag.
Instead, PSG are reportedly exploring alternative targets, unwilling to make a significant financial commitment for a player currently underperforming.
As Rashford’s future hangs in the balance, Manchester United may need to reconsider their valuation if they hope to facilitate a move for the unsettled forward.
