Tottenham's potential late move for Marcus Rashford | OneFootball

As the transfer window nears its conclusion, Tottenham Hotspur find themselves closely monitoring the situation of Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford.

The 27-year-old England international has long been tipped for a move away from Old Trafford, but as the deadline looms, his future remains uncertain.

Tottenham could be poised to make a late move for Rashford if his proposed transfer to La Liga falls through.

While the 2023/24 season has seen little movement for Rashford, interest in the player has not waned.

Both PSG and Barcelona have been linked with the forward, but complications over his wage demands have caused a delay. As a result, Tottenham are now being mentioned as a potential suitor.

Marcus Rashford has long been expected to leave Manchester United, yet as the transfer window draws to a close, he remains with the club.

According to various reports, both PSG and Barcelona have shown interest in the England international.

However, there are significant hurdles to overcome before a deal can be struck.

Rashford’s £400,000-a-week salary is the key issue. Neither PSG nor Barcelona appear willing to match his current wages, meaning Rashford may have to take a wage cut to facilitate a move.

According to The Daily Mail, while the forward is reportedly keen on joining Barcelona, the club has not yet been able to free up the necessary funds within their wage bill to make the transfer possible.

Should the move to Barcelona fall through, Tottenham, along with other clubs like West Ham, Juventus, Napoli, and Galatasaray, are reportedly ready to pounce.

Spurs are closely monitoring the situation, with the opportunity to bring in a high-profile forward at the last minute too good to ignore.

Tottenham and Marcus Rashford have history

Tottenham's interest in Rashford comes at a time when they have been prioritising other forwards, particularly Mathys Tel.

However, after the player decided to reject Tottenham's offer, the position remains open.

Furthermore, Tottenham's interest in Rashford is not a recent development; it's something that has been speculated for months.

While they’ve focused on other targets throughout the window, the possibility of acquiring Rashford for the right price might see them shift gears in the final days.

His decision to move could significantly impact Tottenham’s ambitions this season. With several clubs vying for his signature, the next few days could prove pivotal for both Rashford and Spurs.
