Tottenham Hotspur have made an enquiry about signing Marcus Rashford on loan with the forward eager to leave Manchester United this month.
Spurs have emerged as a contender to sign Rashford this month and have held informal talks over a potential deal.
Ange Postecoglou is keen to add another attacker to his squad and the 27-year-old fits the bill of being a versatile option.
One major hurdle in Rashford leaving Old Trafford on loan in January is his extortionate wages and Spurs’ feelings have been made clear.
Tottenham not keen on Marcus Rashford’s wages
Tottenham Hotspur would want Manchester United to shoulder the majority of Marcus Rashford’s £300k-per-week wages should they make a move, according to the Independent
The North London club have been considering the idea of signing him and have been investigating a potential loan deal.
However, United are not expected to agree to continue paying most of his wages if they were to loan him out, so a move to North London is unlikely at this stage.
Son Heung-min is Tottenham’s current highest earner on £190k-per-week so bringing Rashford to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would almost certainly blow that figure out the water.
West Ham United are the only other Premier League club to have shown an interest, although his next destination is likely to be abroad.
What is happening with Tottenham’s move for Randal Kolo Muani?
Tottenham’s main attacking focus for now is Randal Kolo Munai, however, TBR Football understands that Juventus believe they are now the player’s first choice.
The Old Lady are now working to finalise a deal early this week to beat the North London club to his signature, although Spurs have not given up just yet.
Any deal for the 26-year-old is expected to be a loan with an option to buy for around £50 million – quite a significant drop from the £76m fee PSG paid for him in 2023.
