AC Milan And Napoli Compete For Rashford, Dortmund And Juventus Await

JAKARTA - AC Milan and Napoli are competing for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus can only wait despite hoping to get Rashford.

Milan are in pole position for Rashford. Especially after his younger brother, Dane Rashford, flew to Milan to negotiate the move for the 27-year-old.

Dane himself is the director of DN May Sports which oversees Rashford. Apart from Dane, there is another brother, Dwayne, who is involved in the agency.

The Dane meeting with club officials was held after Milan's return from Saudi Arabia. The team under the new coach Sergio Conceicao successfully grabbed the Italiana Supercopa or the Italian Super Cup after defeating the one-city rivals Inter Milan 3-2 in the final.

This also strengthens Milan's dominance over Inter in the Derby della Madonnina this season. In the first edition in the Italian Serie A, the Rossoneri outperformed their rivals 2-1.

Milan, according to Italian Football, showed an interest in bringing Rashford. However, this seven-time Champions League champion actually feels a bit heavy with Rashford's high salary of up to 350 thousand pounds per week.

However, Milan will only borrow Rashford. Thus, MU participated in supporting the salaries of the 27-year-old player so as to reduce the burden on Milan.

Rashford's recruitment plan has the support of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is a senior club advisor. Moreover, Ibrahimovic already knew the quality of Rashford because he played together when he played in the English Premier League in the Red Devils uniform from 2016 to 2018.

Although there has been talk between Rashford and Milan agents, there is no certainty whether the player will defend the club.

Napoli bahkan berpeluang merebut Rashford. Napoli memiliki modal bagus, yaitu striker Victor Osimhen yang diinginkan manajer MU Ruben Amorim. Jika tidak mendapat dana besar membeli pemain, Amorim bisa membawa Osimhen dengan Rashford.

Osimhen is actually a fertile striker at Napoli. However, coach Antonio Conte actually lent Osimhen to Galatasaray. Conte prefers to bring in Romelu Lukaku who has also defended MU.

Apart from Lukaku, there is midfielder Scott McTominay who actually played impressively for MU. However, the club decided to release McTominay to Napoli.

Another club that put Rashford on the buy list included Borussia Dortmund. The German Bundesliga club is eyeing Rashford because it will be abandoned by Donyell Malen who will instead join the Premier League to join Aston Villa.

Hanya, Dortmund kemungkinan masih berat dengan harga jual Rashford. Begitu pula Juventus yang mencari pendamping striker Dusan Vlahovic.

But Juve is more interested in borrowing other MU players, Joshua Zirkzee than signing Rashford. The player's high salary is considered by the Bianconeri to bring him.
