Club on verge of ‘very important’ deal to open door for Marcus Rashford, but eye Amorim’s Sporting star as alternative

The future of Marcus Rashford is subject of a few more twists and turns as his representatives look for a solution.

Marcus Rashford is out of favour at Manchester United and heading towards the exit door.

A loan exit is most likely at present, a move that could see Rashford increase his value ahead of the summer transfer window.

Rashford’s representatives are holding talks with clubs – although two are removed from the equation, with Como rumours being shot down, while RB Leipzig have also backed off.

AC Milan are one of the most strongly linked teams, despite it being dubbed an ‘unusual’ move for the team.

AC Milan set to move forward on

AC Milan are set to free up a spot in their attack by concluding the exit of Swiss winger Noah Okafor.

Sportmediaset report AC Milan are set to agree a loan move to send Okafor to RB Leipzig, describing talks as ‘advanced’.

The move would be a loan with an option to buy at 14 million Euros, and it is claimed: “The possible exit of Okafor would also be very important in terms of incomings, given that the farewell of the Swiss winger would leave a place free for a purchase.”

AC Milan still need to figure out the finances that would facilitate a move for Rashford, which are not easy as he is one of Manchester United’s highest earners.

This means Milan are carefully considering their options, and Rashford is not the only player on their radar.

Milan considering Trincao

The same report claims AC Milan are considering a move in the summer for one of Ruben Amorim’s favourite players, Francisco Trincao.

Ruben Amorim handed Trincao his debut at Braga before signing him for Sporting, and he went onto become a key part of his team.

United In Focus understand Trincao is a player on Manchester United’s radar ahead of the summer too.

AC Milan are claimed to be ‘carefully considering’ a move for Trincao, with AC Milan manager Sergio Conceicao appreciating his countryman’s talents.

Milan consider that Trincao presents an opportunity because his contract at Sporting runs out in June 2026.

Financially, a move for Rashford and Trincao would not be possible for the Serie A side, and while they are set to free up some funds with Okafor’s exit and space in attack – their chosen direction is as yet unclear.
