AC Milan are on the brink of a potentially game-changing transfer as they pursue Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford. The former Golden Boy of English football has shown significant interest in donning the red and black jersey, impressed by the sporting project presented by his friend and Milan legend, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Calciomercato report how Dwaine Maynard, Rashford’s agent, has given Milan the green light to proceed with negotiations. This development follows a recent visit to Milan, which served to lay the groundwork for more concrete discussions after Manchester United initially proposed this market opportunity to the Italian giants.
Milan’s interest in Rashford stems from his versatility, as he can play both as a winger and a central striker, a quality highly valued by new coach Sergio Conceiçao. The Rossoneri are prepared to cover half of Rashford’s €7 million salary for the remainder of the season. The club is optimistic that the English international may be willing to make some financial concessions to facilitate the move.
However, Milan faces stiff competition for Rashford’s signature. Maynard has informed the club that he will entertain offers from six or seven other teams before making a final decision. Juventus have already made direct contact, while Borussia Dortmund has submitted a concrete proposal. Rashford, who is unlikely to remain in England, hopes to resolve his situation within a week.
Milan’s pursuit of Rashford has been bolstered by the impending departure of Noah Okafor to RB Leipzig, creating both financial and squad space for the potential new arrival. The club’s management, led by Ibrahimovic, remains confident in their ability to successfully conclude negotiations with Manchester United.
