Man Utd Could Make Game-Changing Move for PSG-Linked Star

With the winter transfer window now open, PSG has the opportunity to make targeted additions to strengthen the squad for the second half of the 2025–26 season while keeping long-term objectives in focus.

Moreover, the club’s approach with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia offers a clear example. PSG tracked the winger throughout the summer of 2024 and only moved in early 2025 when the timing fit their broader strategy.

Football Insider reports that PSG are monitoring Marcus Rashford’s situation at Barcelona. The 28-year-old, on loan from Manchester United, has contributed six goals and seven assists in 18 appearances in Spain. Barcelona seem ready to make the deal permanent with a €35 million release clause, but PSG could step in if the Spanish club hesitates.

Transfer reporter Ben Jacobs added that PSG are planning to pursue a versatile forward in 2026 and confirmed that a Rashford move this season is not currently under consideration.

Nonetheless, Rashford could be off the market. SPORT reports that Manchester United are considering bringing back Rashford after manager Ruben Amorim left the club.

Rashford thrived under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who is rumored to be returning to Manchester United. Barcelona are not planning to make Rashford’s move permanent for now, citing financial constraints.

This potential decision comes after the forward said he wants to remain with the Catalan side and does not intend to return to Man Utd.

“Of course, what I want is to stay at Barca,” Rashford told Sport. “It’s the ultimate goal, but it’s not the reason I’m training hard and giving my all. The purpose is to win. Barca is a huge, fantastic club, built to win titles. There is pressure here, but it’s not negative pressure; it’s the kind you crave as a player, the kind I want and have always wanted as a footballer.

“I can’t be in a place where there aren’t high expectations; for me, it’s harder to stay motivated and give my best at a club where the demands aren’t at their peak. I’m in the perfect place and environment to continue my journey as a footballer, so I’m just trying to give my best every day and help the team win. We’ll see what happens next summer.”
