Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the current champions of Ligue 1, made a strong attempt to attract the Manchester United forward to their club during the summer of 2022.
They offered him a lucrative salary of £400,000 per week. Despite PSG’s efforts, Marcus Rashford chose to extend his contract with Manchester United in July, agreeing to a deal worth £300,000 per week until 2028.
However, Rashford’s performance has dipped this season, scoring only four goals, leading to uncertainty about his future at the club. Reports surfaced of Rashford calling in sick to training after allegedly indulging in a 12-hour drinking spree in Belfast, which has overshadowed Manchester United’s season.
PSG might consider renewing their interest in Rashford if he expresses a desire to move this summer, according to caughtoffside. While Rashford may not be PSG’s top priority, they acknowledge his potential as a strong striker when in top form.
Rashford’s impressive tally of 30 goals last season prompted Manchester United to secure his services with a new contract, making him a key player for the club. However, PSG’s need to strengthen their attacking options could increase if Kylian Mbappe decides to leave.
Mbappe is expected to announce his decision on his future in the upcoming summer, amidst ongoing speculation about a potential move to Real Madrid.
Mbappe has the option to extend his contract with PSG for another year, preventing the club from losing him on a free transfer in the summer, which would result in a significant financial loss of £153 million compared to their initial investment.
Despite Mbappe’s status as one of United’s committed players, recent controversies surrounding his behavior in Belfast have raised questions about his standing within the club.
Manchester United has stated that Rashford has taken responsibility for his actions, and he marked his return to the starting lineup with a goal in the thrilling 4-3 victory over Wolves.
