Manchester United’s forward, Marcus Rashford, is at the centre of a stunning swap deal involving Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
The SUN UK, reports that the £60million-rated forward has snubbed three offers from Saudi Arabia — worth up to £675,000 A WEEK — because he wants to win back his England place.
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 65 goals in 108 Serie A matches for Napoli since joining from Lille in 2020.
Amorim would love to work with Sporting Lisbon forward Viktor Gyokeres again but agreed he would NOT sign players from his former club until the summer at the earliest.
The Portuguese is short of goalscorers and dropped Rashford over his “standards” for the 2-1 Premier League derby win at Manchester City on December 15.
He has not played under Amorim for five games — despite three straight league losses leaving United 14th and facing a relegation battle.
Rashford has been offered the chance to become the best-paid English player in history by clubs in Saudi Arabia more than doubling his £315,000 weekly pay packet to £675k.
