Marcus Rashford ‘targeted by European giants’ who hope to rival Barcelona as he moves closer to Man United exit door

The race for Marcus Rashford is hotting up as Juventus have now reportedly emerged as contenders for his signature. 

Rashford is known to be keen for a move to Barcelona and while the Spanish giants are interested, they are yet to make a move for him. 

The 28-year-old announced in December that he is ‘ready for a new challenge,’ effectively calling time on a journey with United which began when he was seven. 

He spent the latter half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he scored four goals, but they chose not to sign him permanently. Rashford still has three years left on his £300,000-per-week deal at Old Trafford. 

In recent days, The Sun have claimed that Jose Mourinho is eager for a reunion with Rashford at Fenerbahce, with reports in Turkey saying they are willing to meet his £40million valuation. 

And now Sky Sport Italia claims Juventus are exploring a potential deal for the wantaway former England striker.
