Serie A giants Napoli are reportedly interested in signing 27-year-old Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford.
According to a report from Daily Mirror, Marcus Rashford has his heart set on a move to Barcelona. It will be interesting to see if Napoli can convince him to join the club. Meanwhile, Manchester United value the English international at around £70 million and it will be interesting to see if the Serie A giants can afford him.
The Partenopei sanctioned the departure of Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is expected to leave the club this month. The Serie A giants need to sign a quality attacker, and a dynamic forward like Rashford would be ideal for them.
The 27-year-old England international is capable of operating on either flank, and he will add goals and creativity to the side. So, it is understandable why Napoli are keen on signing the beleaguered Manchester United forward.
It remains to be seen where Marcus Rashford ends up eventually. Barcelona will be an attractive destination for the player as well. The fact that he prefers to join them will certainly give the Blaugrana a major advantage in the transfer race.
Rashford could improve Barcelona
Barcelona could certainly use more cutting-edge in the final third, and Marcus Rashford will add goals and creativity to the side. The 27-year-old Englishman is capable of operating anywhere across the front three and he will look to make his mark in La Liga if the transfer goes through.
Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world. So, it is no surprise that the player is attracted to the idea of joining them. Manchester United consider him an expendable asset, and they will look to recoup a substantial amount of money from his departure. They will hope to get rid of the £70 million-rated attacker soon and bring in an upgrade.
It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds over the next few weeks. The English international has not been a regular starter for Manchester United in recent weeks, and he will be hoping to play more often during the second half of the season. Rashford will be desperate to secure an exit from the club before the winter transfer window closes.
