Inter Milan Ready to Pay €48M for Man United Star

Inter Milan have reportedly thrown their hat into the ring for the signature of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, with the English club setting an asking price of €48 million (£40 million).

This development adds another layer to the ongoing speculation surrounding Rashford’s future, as he appears to be on the cusp of leaving Old Trafford.

Rashford, who spent the latter half of the recently concluded season on loan at Aston Villa, has reportedly fallen out of favour at Manchester United.

Despite his loan spell at Villa, it’s understood that the Birmingham club is unlikely to exercise their option to sign him permanently, especially after missing out on Champions League football.

Inter Milan’s interest comes amidst their desire to strengthen their attacking options following a disappointing end to their domestic and European campaigns.

The Nerazzurri were reportedly dismantled 5-0 in the Champions League final and also saw their Scudetto challenge falter in the final stages of the Serie A season.

Club hierarchy is believed to view Rashford as a key acquisition to revitalize their forward line and excite the fanbase.

While Manchester United are keen on a permanent sale, reports suggest that Inter are exploring the possibility of a long-term loan deal.

Rashford himself is reportedly open to a move abroad, seeking a fresh start and a return to consistent form in a new environment.

He is currently under contract with Manchester United until 2028, having signed a five-year extension in July 2023.

Barcelona have also been linked with Rashford in recent weeks, but their financial situation could prove to be a significant hurdle.
