Marcus Rashford: Newcastle’s ambitious plans come to light

INEOS have no interest in such proposals, as they know plenty of clubs will be interested in the England international. There is no future at Old Trafford for the loanee.

While they would prefer to sell him to a foreign outfit, plenty of Premier League clubs are eyeing the 28-year-old’s signature.

As revealed by Football Insider, Newcastle are keen on Marcus Rashford but they have quite a few stumbling blocks to overcome before even dreaming of a move.

The attacker’s wages would be a major issue, as would the Magpies’ lack of Champions League football next season.

Newcastle keen, but problems aplenty

“Marcus Rashford is on Newcastle United‘s radar but they will find it tough to agree a deal with Man United this summer due to the finances involved.

“The 28-year-old would prefer to stay with the Catalan giants for at least another campaign, but they are undecided over whether to trigger the £26 million buy clause in his loan deal.

“Newcastle are keen on signing Rashford but they will face a tough task in agreeing a deal this summer. Eddie Howe’s side have faltered in the Premier League over the last few months, so Newcastle’s transfer plans will have to be drawn up without Champions League football as a selling point to summer targets.

“Newcastle would really struggle to be able to pay the wages, so again that’s another stumbling block for any potential deal for them. I don’t think Rashford’s got any interest in moving to Newcastle either.”

United watching on

Marcus Rashford will be desperate to try and impress Blaugrana officials so that they trigger his buy option, as he considers Barcelona his dream club.

United will be watching intently, as his sale would count as pure profit, something INEOS are banking on as they seek to strengthen all across the pitch in anticipation of the club returning to the Champions League.
