As Juventus advances in their pursuit of Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, Italian sources reveal that the Bianconeri have also made informal inquiries about Marcus Rashford. Both players are reportedly considered surplus to requirements under Manchester United`s new manager, Ruben Amorim.
However, any potential deal for Rashford presents greater challenges compared to Sancho`s situation, primarily due to a higher expected transfer fee and wage demands. Rashford`s connection to Serie A resurfaced after a proposed move in January failed to materialize.
Earlier this year, Rashford was made available for transfer, with rumors linking him to AC Milan. Instead, he joined fellow Premier League side Aston Villa on loan. During his stint with the Midlands club, Rashford delivered a respectable performance, contributing two goals and two assists in 10 Premier League appearances. Despite this, Villa opted not to pursue a permanent transfer.
The forward`s salary expectations and Manchester United`s valuation may prove significant obstacles for Juventus. However, according to SkySport, via TMW, preliminary discussions about Rashford have begun alongside negotiations for Sancho`s transfer.
As both Manchester United and Juventus continue their talks, the potential moves of Sancho and Rashford could significantly reshape the attacking options for both clubs in the upcoming season.
