As Juventus reportedly nears an agreement for Manchester United`s winger Jadon Sancho, new reports from Italy indicate that the Turin club has also made an initial enquiry regarding Marcus Rashford.
Like Sancho, Rashford is reportedly deemed surplus to requirements by Red Devils coach Ruben Amorim. However, securing Rashford would be more challenging for Juventus compared to Sancho, primarily due to his higher valuation and expected wage demands.
Renewed Serie A Interest for Rashford After January Window
This isn`t the first time Marcus Rashford has been linked with a move to Italy`s Serie A; earlier this year, in January, he was made available for transfer. Despite initial speculation connecting the English forward with AC Milan, he ultimately joined fellow Premier League club Aston Villa on loan.
During his stint with the Midlands team, he had a reasonable performance, contributing two goals and two assists across 10 Premier League appearances. Nevertheless, Aston Villa ultimately decided against making his transfer permanent.
The significant financial demands from both the player and Manchester United could pose a major hurdle in Juventus`s pursuit. However, SkySport, as cited by TMW, reports that preliminary discussions about Rashford began during the ongoing negotiations for Sancho.
