Marcus Rashford’s agent and brother, Dane Rashford, arrived in Milan on Wednesday evening with a clear objective: to discuss a potential January transfer for the Manchester United forward who has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford.
The news, first reported by The Athletic and since confirmed by Calciomercato, suggests that AC Milan is seriously exploring this intriguing market opportunity. Rashford would represent a significant coup for both Serie A and Milan’s Champions League ambitions, perfectly fitting the profile of the striker the Rossoneri are seeking – a player strong in front of goal and capable of operating on the wings.
The upcoming meeting will delve into the details of Rashford’s potential exit from Manchester United. Key points of discussion include the portion of Rashford’s wages that United would cover, the costs of a potential buy option after the initial six-month loan, and how much Marcus is willing to reduce his current £14 million salary.
While the deal is complex, negotiations are ongoing. Rashford also has a concrete offer from Borussia Dortmund and has been proposed to Juventus, indicating the high level of interest in the England international.
Milan’s sporting director, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is set to play a crucial role in these talks. His presence and influence could be pivotal in convincing Rashford to choose the San Siro as his next destination.
“We are always looking for opportunities to strengthen our squad,” Ibrahimovic stated. “Rashford is a top player, and if there’s a chance to bring him to Milan, we will certainly explore it.”
