Fenerbahce ready to break the bank for Manchester United star Marcus Rashford | OneFootball

Fenerbahce are surprise contenders to sign Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford (the Sun).

The Turkish giants are ready to break the bank to secure a deal for the 28-year-old. 

Fenerbahce have already contacted Rashford’s representatives as they look to add an elite winger to their squad. 

The Super Lig outfit also have AC Milan’s Rafael Leao and Crystal Palace forward Ismaila Sarr on their transfer shortlist. 

Rashford enjoyed a decent World Cup with England, making two goal contributions in six appearances. 

He is contracted at United until 2028, but the club are open to selling him this summer. 

Rashford spent last season on loan at Barcelona after falling out of favour at Old Trafford. 

He impressed with his performances for the Catalan club, netting 14 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions. 

Barcelona opted against triggering the £26 million option to make his move permanent. 

The Blaugrana were keen to keep Rashford for a reduced permanent fee or on another loan deal. Both proposals were unacceptable to United. 

The England international now has the opportunity to join Fenerbahce, who are one of the most successful in Turkey. 

The Super Lig club are determined to sign the experienced forward, but he may wish to stay in one of Europe’s top leagues.
