Paris Saint-Germain 'in talks to sign Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford'

Paris Saint-Germain are lining up a shock move for Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, according to reports in France.


PSG are interested in signing the England international and have opened talks with the forward's camp, according to French publication L'Equipe, as reported by Get French Football News.

The report comes after PSG head coach Christophe Galtier indicated at a press conference on Thursday that he wants to sign another striker this summer, with Mauro Icardi and Arnaud Kalimuendo expected to leave the Parc des Princes.

"We will sign a new striker, as we're looking to find a solution for Mauro Icardi and also Kalimuendo will join Rennes," said Galtier, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

Rashford, 24, has one year remaining on his current deal with boyhood club Manchester United, who hold an option to extend his contract by a further year.

The England star struggled for form and fitness last season, managing just five goals in 32 appearances in all competitions.

He started United's opening game of the season against Brighton on Sunday but was unable to find the net as the Red Devils were beaten 2-1 at Old Trafford.

French journalist Julien Laurens claims Rashford is "keen" for a new challenge but says no discussions have taken place between PSG and Manchester United over a deal for the striker.

"Confirmation of the contacts between PSG and Marcus Rashford, as reported first by L'Equipe," tweeted Laurens.

"PSG need a player who can play wide or as a 9. Rashford is keen on a new challenge, one year before the end of his contract.

"No discussions yet with Manchester United."

PSG could struggle to convince United to sell Rashford, who has scored 93 goals in 303 games for the club since making his senior debut back in 2016.

United are already in the market for reinforcements, as the uncertainty surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo's future continues.

The Red Devils were in talks to sign veteran striker Marko Arnautovic from Bologna but pulled out of negotiations after having a bid rejected by the Italian club.

If Rashford was to join PSG, it would leave United manager Erik ten Hag with just two senior strikers in his squad - Anthony Martial and Ronaldo, with the latter having handed in a transfer request earlier this summer.

Chloe Kelly leaves BBC viewers in hysterics after ditching mic mid-interview to join Lionesses for Sweet Caroline

Image
  Chloe Kelly left Euros viewers highly amused after she ditched a microphone mid-interview to go and join her team and belt out Sweet Caroline on the pitch following an epic win. England were celebrating winning their first major trophy since 1966 after beating Germany in the Euro 2022 final at Wembley. Chloe scored the second goal, sparking celebrations through the nation, as she followed Manchester United’s Ella Toone with England’s first goal. In an interview after the win, Chloe had been called to the side by a BBC presenter, but she didn’t stay long before (understandably) throwing her microphone down and running back to join her team. Before bursting into song, she’d looked around to the roaring stadium, saying: ‘Look at them! ‘It’s amazing, honestly! Thank you every single person that got out to support us. Chloe Kelly is every England fan right now 😂😂😂😂📲 📺 📻 Watch on @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer. Listen on @BBCSounds.#BBCEuros #BBCFootball — BB...

Chelsea make late move for Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha

Image
Chelsea have revived their interest in Wilfried Zaha and are exploring a deal to sign the Crystal Palace forward before the transfer window closes. The Ivory Coast winger has been a target for Chelsea in the past but Palace’s asking price last summer was around £90m. Chelsea were unwilling to pay that much but Zaha has just a year left on his deal at Selhurst Park, which has weakened the Eagles’ hand. Patrick Vieira is desperate to keep Zaha but the club know his ambition is to play in the Champions League and this could be the club’s last chance to get big money for the winger. Chelsea had been negotiating a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but Barcelona are seeking around £30m for the 33-year-old. Thomas Tuchel wants to strengthen his attack following the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner.

Rival managers have been calling each other to talk about stopping Erling Haaland, he's that good

Image
  It has emerged that rival Premier League managers have been calling each other in a bid to try and stop in-form Manchester City striker Erling Haaland. The 22-year-old forward, who joined Pep Guardiola's side from Borussia Dortmund this summer in a deal worth £51 million, has already scored six goals in four league games this season. On Saturday afternoon, in their clash against Crystal Palace, the Norwegian bagged his first hat-trick for City as they came back from 2-0 down to win 4-2 at the Etihad. In the aftermath of that game, where Haaland's pace, power and composure in front of goal destroyed Palace's defensive line, a report from The Telegraph gave fans a fascinating insight into the striker's arrival. The 22-year-old forward has been described by one rival manager as "an alien" who is "stronger, taller and faster than anything we have seen before", according to the report. And such is his presence, rival managers have already been discussin...
