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

Fenerbahce have emerged as surprise contenders for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. 

According to 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 the 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 £26m option to make his move permanent. 

The Blaugrana were keen to keep Rashford either for a reduced permanent fee or on another loan deal. Both proposals were not acceptable for United. 

The England international now has the opportunity to join Fenerbahce who are one of the most successful and widely supported clubs in Turkey. 

The Super Lig club look determined to sign the experienced forward, but it remains to be seen whether he is ready to leave the best football league in the world.
