Sidelined at Manchester United, Marcus Rashford is going through a delicate period. Under the direction of Ruben Amorim, the player trained at the club is struggling to find a key role in the squad. Relegated to the bench, he saw his situation deteriorate over the months. This sidelining pushed Mancunian leaders to consider a separation this winter. What if his future was written far from Old Trafford, in a foreign championship where he could finally bounce back?
Heading to Italy for Rashford?
This is precisely what Juventus appears to be offering. According to Tuttosport, Manchester United have offered Rashford to the Turin club, opening the door to a transfer in the next transfer window. The conditions are clear: a direct transaction worth 50 million euros or a six-month loan for 3 to 4 million euros, with a purchase option. An offer which does not leave Juve sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, nor coach Thiago Motta indifferent. However, Rashford is not the only option being explored by the Italian club.
Rashford heading to Italy?
Among the Old Lady’s priority targets are Josh Zirkzee, Rashford’s Manchester teammate, as well as Giacomo Raspadori (Naples) and Randal Kolo Muani (PSG). This competition underlines the ambitions of the Old Lady to strengthen its attack and meet the needs of a sector in full reconstruction.
PSG is no longer in the game
For Rashford, a transfer to Juventus could be an opportunity to relaunch a career that seemed promising. Once considered by PSG, the attacker did not see this option come to fruition, the Parisian club having chosen to explore other profiles for its offensive sector. In Turin, he would find a team in search of revitalization, where his qualities could be fully expressed.
A new beginning is therefore looming for Marcus Rashford, who could turn the page on his Mancunian disappointments to flourish in a different environment. It remains to be seen whether Juventus will actually take action to secure the services of the England international.
