Rejecting High Salaries In Saudi Arabia, Rashford Will Be Exchanged By Napoli Strikers

JAKARTA - Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford refused a high salary offer from the Saudi Arabian club. However, he was still released by Manchester United and the plan was to exchange it for Napoli strikers.

Rashford did not show interest in playing in Saudi Arabia. He still hopes to get a call from the new coach of the England national team Thomas Tuchel. When playing in Arabia, Rashford seems difficult to return to the national team. Because Tuchel is certainly reluctant to monitor players who play in the Middle East.

Rashford doesn't want to have the same fate as Jordan Henderson who took off the captain's armband at Liverpool to play in Saudi Arabia. In the aftermath, Henderson finds it difficult to return to the national team.

Although he was called up for a test match and returned to Europe by playing in the Netherlands, Henderson ended up not joining the Three Lions squad which competed at Euro 2024.

What Rashford didn't want even though he actually failed to enter the England squad. The poor performance at MU made this 26-year-old player dropped by manager Gareth Southgate.

The offer from Arab club to Rashford is actually no less lucrative. How not, according to The Sun, his salary of 315 thousand pounds each week will double to 675 thousand pounds or approximately 13.5 billion rupiah every week.

Rashford will also become the England player with the highest salary and outperform Harry Kane. With a salary of 400 thousand every week he receives at Bayern Munich, the captain of the national team becomes the highest-paid England player.

The rejection of the offer made Rashford's future uncertain at MU. Meanwhile, he is no longer the choice of manager Ruben Amorim. Even though Manchester United's performance has not improved, Amorim has never appointed Rashford.

Bayern was actually said to be bringing Rashford. However, the German Bundesliga giant canceled the plan.

Likewise Juventus, who focuses on borrowing other MU players, Joshua Zirkzee. The amount of Rashford's salary is a consideration for Juve to reject it and prefer to borrow Zirkzee.

Amoritism finally got a solution by making a player swap. Yes, Amoram is trying Napoli not to mind releasing striker Victor Osimhen, who is currently being borrowed by Galatasaray. MU offered Napoli to exchange Rashford for Osimhen.

Osimhen is an alternative because he has not been able to bring his children to Sporting Lisbon, Viktor Gyokeres. Amorim has agreed not to bring Sporting players to Manchester United until the 2025 summer exchange.

Osimhen's chances are actually quite open. Because Napoli coach Antonio Conte is not suitable for Osimhen's playing character and chose to recruit Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea. No wonder the striker, who has scored 65 goals during the 108 Italian Serie A matches, is loaned to Galatasaray.

In addition, MU had actually targeted Osimnhen. But the plan didn't come up. With the exchange of Rashford and Osimhen, MU can get the desired player. Rashford himself will reunite with his colleagues at MU, Lukaku and Scott McTominay who joined at the start of the season.
