AC Milan’s pursuit of Marcus Rashford is intensifying as the Serie A giants prepare for a fresh round of talks with Manchester United today. The 27-year-old English forward has been on Milan’s radar for several weeks, and after expressing his interest in a move to the Rossoneri, the focus now shifts to the clubs finding an economic agreement.
Calciomercato report that Milan’s market leaders, including Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada, are set to engage in discussions with Manchester United officials in the coming hours. The primary objectives are to negotiate the transfer formula, with Milan keen on securing a purchase option, and to address Rashford’s salary. The Italian club is hoping for United’s participation in covering a portion of the player’s current wages, which stand at a substantial £15.6 million per year (over €18 million).
Rashford has already confirmed his enthusiasm for a potential move to Italy and donning the red and black of Milan. However, the England international is eager to resolve his future swiftly, preferably within the next two to three days. This urgency has led him to keep his options open, with Barcelona emerging as another serious contender after making strong moves over the weekend.
The situation is further complicated by Milan’s interest in Manchester City’s Kyle Walker, as Serie A regulations limit clubs to signing only one British player from abroad per season. This rule could potentially force Milan to choose between Rashford and Walker, adding another layer of complexity to the negotiations.
