It seems like Marcus Rashford's time at Manchester United may be coming to an end. Rumors are swirling that Napoli is interested in a swap deal involving Rashford and Victor Osimhen. With new manager Ruben Amorim at the helm, it appears that Rashford is no longer a key player for United. Despite making a return to the matchday squad for a recent game against Newcastle, it seems that he is not in Amorim's future plans for the team.
There have been offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia, but Rashford is determined to stay in Europe in order to improve his chances of returning to the international stage. According to The Sun, Napoli is keeping a close eye on the situation and may offer Osimhen as part of a deal to bring Rashford to Italy. Osimhen has been a target for Chelsea, but a move to Stamford Bridge did not materialize. Instead, he ended up on loan at Galatasaray.
There is a £62 million buyout clause in Osimhen's contract, which could make a transfer to United feasible. This would allow Rashford to join Napoli and reunite with former United teammate Scott McTominay, who has been thriving under the management of Antonio Conte. McTominay left United in the summer and has been a standout player for Napoli. In an interview with The Times, he expressed his excitement about the move and his commitment to being the best player and person he can be.
It's no secret that Napoli and Conte have a strong interest in Rashford, who has not started a game for United since December 1. If the move were to happen, it would be a fresh start for Rashford in a new league and with a new manager. Only time will tell if this swap deal will become a reality, but it's certainly an intriguing possibility for both clubs.
