Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly monitoring Marcus Rashford’s situation at Barcelona and could make a move for the forward if the Spanish club’s plans to make his loan permanent stall. Meanwhile, Roma’s pursuit of Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee may be complicated by the managerial uncertainty at Old Trafford following Ruben Amorim’s recent departure.
PSG Target Rashford as Roma Consider Alternatives to Zirkzee Amid United Chaos
Football Insider reports that PSG are monitoring Rashford’s situation as the England international continues his loan spell at Barcelona. The French champions might attempt to sign the forward if Barcelona’s plans to secure a permanent deal encounter difficulties, though any new manager appointed at Manchester United could also seek to bring Rashford back to Old Trafford.
Roma’s interest in Joshua Zirkzee faces potential complications due to Manchester United’s current managerial limbo following Amorim’s exit. The Dutch forward had been firmly on the Serie A club’s radar, but the uncertainty surrounding United’s next head coach appointment might tempt Zirkzee to remain at the club to assess whether he fits into the new manager’s plans.
As a result of the Zirkzee situation, Roma may prioritise alternative targets, with Football Italia reporting that director Ricky Massara has confirmed negotiations are in progress over a deal for Atletico Madrid forward Giacomo Raspadori. The Italian club appears prepared to pivot their transfer strategy amid the complications surrounding their primary target.
Elsewhere in the transfer market, Tottenham and Newcastle are reportedly competing for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, with Newcastle having sent scouts to Molineux last weekend according to the Newcastle Chronicle. Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa faces an uncertain future at Anfield, with his potential departure dependent partly on whether Mohamed Salah remains at the club, as the Italian winger attracts interest from Juventus and Napoli.
