426 games. 138 goals. 63 assists. This is followed by an end for Marcus Rashford in the Manchester United shirt. “New challenges” remain in the Premier League, but this time with Champions League games and the upper part of the PL table. Now it’s up to the 27-year-old to convince on loan and prove he is worth the price tag United have put on their former academy player.
On Sunday, it is ready for a medical check on Rashford, according to transfer journalist Romano, personal terms are in place and the clubs have agreed on a contract until the end of the season.
This solves the short-term for United, Amorim and Rashford, the long-term solution must be secured by Marcus Rashford himself.
According to Romano, the clubs have agreed an option to buy Rashford this summer, which is £40 million.
Chelsea have an option to buy Jadon Sancho at around £25 million. An award that makes the Chelsea management rub their hands after seeing the deliveries to the 24-year-old in the blue shirt.
Marseille signed Mason Greenwood for around £27 million. A few months later, the 22-year-old is one of Ligue 1’s best.
Napoli paid around £25 million for the “superfluous” McTominay. A few months later, the Scot is one of the best midfielders in Serie A.
Now Aston Villa can secure Rashford for £40 million, for the player with a market value of £46 million (transfer markt) who has been set after two very disappointing seasons. For the Birmingham club, there is a gigantic upside. If Rashford does like Greenwood, Sancho and McTominay, €40 million could be a “bargain” (seen in the context of the completely crazy transfer market) for Aston Villa.
