After having trouble staying consistent with the Red Devils, England international Rashford has acknowledged that he is “ready for a new challenge.” Old Trafford’s Premier League powerhouses will consider bids for the 27-year-old attacker.
It would be difficult to find a buyer, though, because Rashford is now employed at £325,000 per week. According to reports, his asking price has been lowered to about £40 million ($50 million), but few clubs, particularly in Europe, can match his present pay.
The Telegraph claims that Rashford might be granted the opportunity to join the Saudi Pro League. Along with Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr—who have United icon Ronaldo on their books—are receiving attention.
Although Al-Ittihad’s squad already has all of the required number of non-Saudi players, a deal might be reached elsewhere. Despite his connections to Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain, Rashford would love to stay in the top European league and is still eager to return to his peak performance at the greatest level.
It is thought to be more likely that any moves from Middle Eastern teams will take place next summer rather than in January, as the Saudi Pro League has already entered its winter vacation. Rashford will have more time to consider his alternatives before making a transfer decision that could affect his immediate and long-term prospects.
