MARCUS RASHFORD has apparently been shortlisted by Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a summer transfer.

The Ligue 1 heavyweights are preparing for life beyond Kylian Mbappe, who leaves this summer.

Marcus Rashford is reportedly coveted by PSG.

He’s seen as a substitute for Kylian Mbappe.

The 25-year-old is expected to leave the club on a free transfer, with Real Madrid the most likely destination.

Paris Saint-Germain will now need to rebuild their squad so that it is not dependent on the 2018 World Cup champion.

According to the Times, Rashford is a summer transfer target for the French club.

According to the source, Mbappe’s departure will free up up to £171 million in PSG’s coffers as his earnings are no longer deducted.

Rashford, 26, is thought to be on the club’s list of alternatives, and discussions have already begun between the parties.

Luis Campos, the club’s football advisor, is thought to see Rashford as Mbappe’s replacement.

PSG had previously expressed interest in the Manchester United attacker.

He even negotiated with the club before accepting a new contract at Old Trafford last year, however the talks were reportedly used as leverage.

Rashford has struggled to match his previous season’s form this season.

In 2022/23, the forward scored 30 goals in 56 appearances across all competitions.

This season, Rashford has only scored five goals in 28 appearances.

He has also had issues off the pitch, as The Sun exclusively exposed the details of his 12-hour binge in Belfast.

The hungover player called in ill to training and was fined £650,000 for two weeks earnings. He was also dropped from the squad for one match.

United have stated Rashford has “taken responsibility” for his conduct, and he scored on his return to the starting lineup in the 4-3 victory over Wolves.
