PSG target Rashford after Leao commits to Milan

Multiple reports in France claim Paris Saint-Germain are in talks with Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, after realising first choice Rafael Leao would not leave Milan.

L’Equipe first launched the story, followed rapidly by RMC Sport, Footmercato and ESPN.

They all claim PSG have spoken directly to Rashford’s agent and the England international is enthusiastic about the idea of coming to the Parc des Princes.

The 24-year-old can play on the left wing or as a centre-forward, the roles that Paris Saint-Germain are looking for.

According to the French reports, he was not the original first choice, as that was Milan star Rafael Leao.

The 23-year-old Portuguese talent has just won the Scudetto with Milan and is on the verge of signing a new contract to stay at San Siro beyond his current June 2024 expiry.

Chelsea had also been linked with Leao this summer, but the forward seems to have no intention of leaving Milan right now and has a release clause in his contract set well over €100m.
