Man United transfer news: Paris Saint-Germain’s Marcus Rashford plan revealed – sources
Man United star man Marcus Rashford is not at the top of the list for Paris Saint-Germain as they search for a Kylian Mbappe replacement, sources have told Football Insider.
It has been widely reported that Mbappe has agreed to join Real Madrid when his PSG contract expires this summer – netting a £128million signing-on bonus and a five-year deal worth £64million.
The bombshell news has triggered a search at Parc des Princes for a worthy replacement – with the France captain hitting 244 goals in 291 games for the club.
Rashford has been widely linked with PSG for several years amid speculation about Mbappe’s future at the club.
Rashford to quit Man United for PSG after mega deal agreed?
A well-placed source has told Football Insider that the French giants will instead first try moves for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and AC Milan star Rafael Leao.
Rashford is behind the Serie A duo in the pecking order of potential Mbappe replacements at PSG.
Football Insider revealed on Monday (19 February) that new Man United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS outfit are keen to keep the England international at the club.
Rashford has faced criticism both on and off the field this term but his heroics last season are fresh in the memories of club chiefs at Old Trafford.
He has managed just five goals so far in the 2023-24 campaign but hit 30 strikes last term to help United win the League Cup and qualify for the Champions League.
The 26-year-old signed a lucrative new contract last year (2023) running until June 2028.
