Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are reportedly reluctant to meet Manchester United’s £50 million valuation for Marcus Rashford, despite their interest in signing the forward.
According to CaughtOffside, PSG are keen to secure Rashford’s services but are unwilling to pay the hefty fee demanded by United. The 27-year-old’s future has been uncertain for some time, with the academy graduate no longer a key figure at Old Trafford.
Rashford, once considered one of the best forwards in world football, has struggled for form in recent seasons. His on-field performances and off-field behavior have drawn criticism, and he has fallen out of favor under new manager Ruben Amorim.
After being dropped for the Manchester derby, Rashford hinted at his desire for a new challenge. Despite Amorim publicly describing the England international as a key player, Rashford was again omitted from the squad for United’s Carabao Cup fixture against Tottenham, further fueling his frustration and desire to leave the club.
PSG’s Position
Reports suggest that both Amorim and new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe are open to selling Rashford if the club’s £50 million valuation is met. PSG, who have maintained a long-standing interest in the forward, recently reignited their pursuit.
The Ligue 1 champions are seeking a world-class forward to strengthen Luis Enrique’s squad, and Rashford is among their top targets. However, they are hesitant to meet United’s asking price due to the player’s recent struggles with form and the criticism surrounding him.
PSG have reportedly begun exploring alternative options, unwilling to commit such a significant fee for a player who is no longer performing at his peak.
As Rashford’s future remains uncertain, Manchester United may need to lower their demands if they hope to facilitate a move for the frustrated forward.
