Marcus Rashford in limbo as transfer bombshell threatens dream Barcelona move
Share:
Napoli are emerging as a big threat to AC Milan’s bid to sign Manchester United's Marcus Rashford after admitting defeat in their attempts to keep Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia at the club. Kvaratskhelia has been identified as the player to kick-start a Paris St Germain rebuild following Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid in the summer - and Napoli boss Antonio Conte has now revealed that the man also attracting interest from Liverpool is probably on his way out.
But Conte is demanding a top-class replacement to keep his bid for the Serie A title on track - and the Naples club are now expected to firm up their interest in Rashford. United were looking to raise £70million for the England international this month after he revealed he wanted to seek a new challenge.

Rashford currently earns £300,000-a-week at Old Trafford - and Milan were hoping the Reds would continue to pay a significant chunk of his wages when they lodged an interest in making the signing happen. Kvaratskhelia’s departure to PSG would give them the scope to offer United a better financial arrangement.
