  • Paris Saint Germain are prepared to make a bid for Marcus Rashford
  • Rashford’s current deal at Man United runs until June 2027
  • Reports suggest PSG are willing to offer him a heftier salary

Paris Saint Germain are reportedly plotting a fresh bid for embattled Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford.

The French giants are keen on finding a replacement for the outgoing Kylian Mbappe, who is poised to join Real Madrid in the summer.

PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi highly rates the United forward and is determined to include him in the club’s long-term project.

In 2022, the Ligue 1 side made deliberate attempts to acquire Rashford’s services but were ultimately unsuccessful despite a lucrative contract worth a whopping £400,000-a-week being offered.

Rashford stayed at United and had his best season in his professional career, netting 30 goals in all competitions.

Rashford’s struggles at United

In the 2023/24 season, the England forward has struggled for form at Old Trafford, despite signing a new deal worth £350,000-a-week last year.

According to Transfermarkt, the 26-year-old has notched just seven goals in 26 appearances across all competitions, but this has not deterred PSG from wanting his services.

The Mirror reports that the French club is willing to offer United up to £80m in the hopes of luring him to the French capital.

Furthermore, the Parisians are willing to hike Rashford’s wages to a whopping £500,000-a-week.

Who could PSG lose if they sign Rashford?

In the event Rashford leaves United for PSG, that transfer could have a ripple effect.

One player who could go the other way is Randal Kolo Muani, who has been on United’s shortlist for months.

Last summer, the Red Devils wanted to sign him but instead opted for Rasmus Hojlund. Goncalo Ramos is another name that has been linked with Manchester United.

Like Kolo Muani, Ramos has been a sporadic first-team player, starting just 15 times for Luis Enrique’s side.

Ousmane Dembele is the other PSG player whose future is not as secure, despite only recently joining the club.

Since his playing style and position are similar to Rashford’s, Dembele could be seen as surplus to requirements in Paris if the England international joins the club.

Rashford's record vs big 6

Sports Brief also reported on a unique record Marcus Rashford holds at Manchester United.

The forward has scored the most goals against the so-called ‘Big Six’ with 30 goals across all competitions.

This is far better than some big names including Wayne Rooney, Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo.
