Marcus Rashford: Paris Saint-Germain unlikely to follow Manchester United’s transfer interest forward | News about Transfer Center

Paris Saint-Germain are keen to sign the striker this month but at this stage they are unlikely to continue their initial interest in Marcus Rashford.

Manchester United feel comfortable about the situation because Rashford is committed to the club and he actually has two years left on his contract – one year plus an option for another year.

Rashford’s agent is said to have held talks with PSG last week.

PSG have signed the likes of Renato Sanches, Vitinha and Hugo Ekitike this summer. They are in talks to sign Fabian Ruiz from Napoli and any further appearances could depend on more players leaving the club.

PSG have declined to comment on reports in France tonight linking them to a move to buy Rashford.

Galtier ‘wishes’ new striker

PSG coach Christophe Galtier, who left Nice to replace Mauricio Pochettino at the Parc des Princes this summer, says he wants to sign a new striker this month, despite already having Lionel Messi , Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

“Yes, we are looking forward to the arrival of a new striker,” admitted Galtier. “I repeat again, with a very busy schedule until November 13, plus the World Cup, obviously we look forward to this appearance.

“The club is working very hard. I would like to reiterate that I am in direct contact with Luis Campos. [PSG’s football advisor] about this and that he is in direct contact with our management and president.

“You must not make mistakes, you must not do anything, and then there are things that can be done and things that are impossible. Can this player do it? We can’t guarantee that. .

“I know that the club is not going to take and pile up a player, it has to be a real value-add and the club is working in this direction.

“But whether at the end of the transfer window an attacking player will arrive, I cannot confirm, but the club are working hard for the position.”

‘Rashford is a long-term target for PSG’

Sky Sports News Chief Correspondent Kaveh Solhekol:

“The feeling is that PSG won’t sign any more players unless they can sell. A lot of deals will need to be in place for that to happen.

“Initially there was some interest in Marcus Rashford, but we were told they would not be monitoring that.

“If you look at United’s strikers, they have injury problems. Anthony Martial missed the game against Brighton, we all know that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave.

“They are looking to sign another striker, so it would be surprising if they let Rashford go.”

Man Utd can afford to let Rashford leave?

Sky Sports News Senior Correspondent Dharmesh Sheth:

“United was under no pressure to sell with the option of extending his contract for another year.

“Given the problems they’re having with their current forward line with injuries and the story surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo, I don’t know if Manchester United are in a position to even think about losing a striker. their other or not, at least Marcus Rashford.”

Rashford to compete with Gakpo?

Manchester United are preparing to sign PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo, valued at £35m.

United manager Erik ten Hag, who is in the same company as Gakpo, is keen to sign the 23-year-old to bolster his attack.

Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia have been signed in defence alongside midfielder Christian Eriksen this summer, but the Dutchman has yet to strengthen his attack.

With Anthony Martial currently injured and concerns over Cristiano Ronaldo’s future, United are looking for more options ahead.

They missed out on striker Benjamin Sesko, who will join RB Leipzig next summer, and recently withdrew interest in Bologna’s Marko Arnautovic.

United have spent most of their time pursuing their main striker target Antony, but it has long been reported that Ajax plan to keep him and expect only £70m for that to change.

Gakpo, currently managed by former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, has emerged as a more permanent solution to the lack of quality options in the forward division.

The Dutch international is a product of PSV’s academy and scored 21 goals in 47 games last season.

‘Gakpo a Ten Hag player knows’

Sky Sports News Senior Correspondent Melissa Reddy on The Transfer Show:

“Manchester United have an offer for PSV winger Cody Gakpo.

“They’ve long said they have alternative attacking goals. No one will be surprised when I say this is a player Erik ten Hag knows, as I said it’s the manager at the helm. their recruitment process.

“Ruud van Nistelrooy joining PSV can help solve the problem. PSV has taken a public position that they want to keep their key players, but in the end they know if a club comes in with great financial resources. , they won’t be able to refuse that.”
