Manchester United could offer Marcus Rashford for Dusan Vlahovic, although financial challenges will make a move seem difficult.
According to Juve Live, an exchange deal between Manchester United and Juventus could be on the cards, as Marcus Rashford could go one way to allow Dusan Vlahovic to come to Old Trafford. A deal would make a lot of sense on paper; the financial challenges that come as a part of it will make this idea seem difficult.
It is becoming abundantly clear that Manchester United is ready to part ways with Marcus Rashford in the upcoming window. The homegrown attacker has already made his desire to quit public, which will now open the doors for offers to come in and test the Red Devils’ resolve.
The fact that Ruben Amorim has not included the 27-year-old in his matchday squad since Rashford’s claim, the attacker’s career at Old Trafford is all but over. There are a host of clubs keeping tabs on his situation, and Manchester United will expect a few bids to come in the January window.
A trio of Saudi Arabian clubs are interested, although there is a feeling that Rashford does not intend to move to the Middle East just yet. There is long-standing interest from PSG, but any move will depend on their ability to match Manchester United’s asking price, which is expected to be higher.
The latest idea that has emerged in the reports comes from the Italian outlet, which claims that Manchester United could engage in an exchange deal with Juventus and bring Dusan Vlahovic to Old Trafford. There is no clarity whether Rashford prefers a move to Turin, although the Red Devils are reportedly interested in the 24-year-old Serbian striker.
Financial challenges will prevent the Rashford-Vlahovic exchange
Manchester United are more than capable of paying a high salary to their preferred targets, and Vlahovic’s wage demands to sign a new contract could end his time in Turin. The fact that the Bianconeri are reluctant to pay the 24-year-old Serie A striker what he wants does cast massive doubts over whether they will oblige to Rashford’s demands.
Hence, the proposed exchange deal will not work out from a financial standpoint, as Juventus are not in the best position to pay Rashford’s wages or even the big fee that Manchester United might ask. For now, this deal seems unlikely, although things are known to change in football.
