NAPOLI are set to join the race for Marcus Rashford, SunSport can reveal. The Italian giants are interested in signing the Manchester United and England forward on loan until the end of the season. Manager Antonio Conte is a huge admirer of Rashford. And the club think signing him could appease fans who are angry about Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s impending move.

Napoli also think Rashford could provide the firepower to help secure a title for Napoli this season. A move to Napoli would appeal to Rashford who has told his advisors he is up for a switch to Italy. AC Milan had been expected to sign the player, but reports in Italy claim the deal is close to collapse due to concerns over the player’s fitness.

Interest remains from Saudi Arabia, but Rashford isn’t believed to be keen on the idea of a move there. Conte spoke recently about the departure of Kvaratskhelia - which has dismayed many Napoli fans. “He asked the club to be sold, without mincing his words,” Conte said.
