Marcus Rashford’s brother and agent have travelled to Italy for exploratory talks with AC Milan bosses during a mid-season loan.
At this stage, either party identifies the parameters of a loan agreement, financially and otherwise. Much of Rashford’s salary is expected to be subsidized through Manchester United.
The striker is not with the United squad on Wednesday and will work out separately as he recovers from the illness that kept him at Liverpool on Sunday.
Milan, who are missing in attacking attacking ability in form, and who have Rafael Leao in Rashford’s favoured position on the left, are said to have signalled that there would be a strong festival for an early position in the anticipation line.
Serie A have been exploring the option of a loan with an option to buy, according to Sky in Italy, with the main one ahead of Rashford, Target Milan in the January move window.
Sky Sports News reported that Borussia Dortmund and Juventus are interested in the 27-year-old.
Sky Italia also reports that the Italian team, Como, has entered the race, and would not have any challenge in funding a deal.
Rashford is one of the applicants across clubs across Europe after expressing a preference for a new challenge last month.
There is a January acceptance is a difficult window to do big business and a correct loan for Rashford will be governed.
United are yet to get an official offering Rashford, while United head coach Ruben Amorim has said it’s up to Rashford to paint his way into first-team calculation.
Ideally for United, Rashford is getting back on track and running well for the team, which would likely increase his price if the club sell him in the summer.
Alternatively, although a loan, and paying a portion of salaries, is not ideal, United would possibly point to the merit such a move had on Jadon Sancho’s price tag last season.
