We don’t know precisely where Marcus Rashford will play between now and the end of the transfer window, but what we are pretty sure of is that the England international should be one of the big files of the winter. Pushed towards the exit by Ruben Amorim and Manchester United, the club he joined 20 years ago when he was still a toddler, Rashford knows that he will not lack suitors.
In recent weeks, it has been rumored that the Englishman is very popular in Italy, where Juventus, Como and also AC Milan are following the matter closely (Sergio Conceição half-heartedly validated the idea yesterday at a press conference, and the Rossoneri would be in pole position, editor’s note). In Germany, Dortmund have apparently expressed an interest, but without speaking with the player’s entourage, while Arsenal have started discussions with Manchester United, but still at a preparatory stage. Formerly a candidate, PSG would no longer be a candidate today, unlike… AS Monaco.
The ASM wants to strengthen itself in the face of
As explained The Telegraph this Saturday, ASM would have identified Marcus Rashford as a potential reinforcement for the second part of the season. Third in Ligue 1 and still committed to securing a play-off in the Champions League (ASM is 16th), Adi Hütter’s players have been suffering from certain deficiencies for several weeks offensively, and this is reflected in results at half mast (1 victory over the last 8 matches against professional teams). Embolo is no longer as bloody and killer as in his best days, Ilenikhena still seems too green to hope to start, while Balogun is injured.
Logically, the promising Mika Biereth should soon arrive from Sturm Graz, but Monaco is not stopping itself from recruiting on the sides. According to The TelegraphASM would appear today as a club capable of offering Rashford exposure to return to the English selection. The tax advantages presented by the Principality could represent a major argument for assuming Rashford’s considerable salary, whose income is now estimated at nearly €400,000 per week. It remains to be seen under what formula the operation would be broken down if it materializes. According to the British media, Monaco would in any case be ready to get in shape, even if such a salary seems difficult to afford for an L1 club, excluding PSG.
