Manchester United star Marcus Rashford is reportedly at the center of a high-profile swap deal with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. The Red Devils forward, valued at £60 million, has turned down three lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, including wages worth up to £675,000 per week, as he remains focused on reclaiming his spot in the England squad.

United manager Rúben Amorim, who previously expressed a preference not to recruit players from his former club Sporting Lisbon until at least the summer, is in search of a reliable goalscorer. Rashford has found himself on the sidelines under Amorim following concerns over his “standards,” including being dropped for the Manchester derby against City, which United won 2-1.

Rashford has not played in five consecutive games for United, a period marked by three league defeats that have left the club languishing in 14th place and facing a potential relegation battle. While Rashford has resisted the allure of becoming the highest-paid English player in history, doubling his £315,000 weekly earnings, his future remains uncertain amidst United’s current struggles.

A move to another European club would give Rashford a platform to do that with Napoli’s former Tottenham boss Antonio Conte looking at a deal for the disillusioned star.

Under-fire United manager Ruben Amorim is desperate to strengthen this month and Conte’s interest in Rashford, 27, has opened the door to signing Osimhen.

The Nigerian — who has a £62m release clause — is on loan at Galatasaray but United could land the 26-year-old this month.

He has scored 6 goals in 108 Serie A matches for Napoli since joining from Lille in 2020.
