Manchester United star Marcus Rashford is reportedly at the center of a high-profile swap deal with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. The Red Devils forward, valued at £60 million, has turned down three lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, including wages worth up to £675,000 per week, as he remains focused on reclaiming his spot in the England squad.

United manager Rúben Amorim, who previously expressed a preference not to recruit players from his former club Sporting Lisbon until at least the summer, is in search of a reliable goalscorer. Rashford has found himself on the sidelines under Amorim following concerns over his “standards,” including being dropped for the Manchester derby against City, which United won 2-1.

Rashford has not played in five consecutive games for United, a period marked by three league defeats that have left the club languishing in 14th place and facing a potential relegation battle. While Rashford has resisted the allure of becoming the highest-paid English player in history, doubling his £315,000 weekly earnings, his future remains uncertain amidst United’s current struggles.

A move to another European club would give Rashford a platform to do that with Napoli’s former Tottenham boss Antonio Conte looking at a deal for the disillusioned star.

Under-fire United manager Ruben Amorim is desperate to strengthen this month and Conte’s interest in Rashford, 27, has opened the door to signing Osimhen.

The Nigerian — who has a £62m release clause — is on loan at Galatasaray but United could land the 26-year-old this month.

He has scored 6 goals in 108 Serie A matches for Napoli since joining from Lille in 2020.

That £3 m-a-year offer is almost 70 per cent more than the £400,000 a week that England skipper Harry Kane, 31, earns at Bayern Munich.

Three Saudi clubs have made offers.

Catching the eye of the new England boss Thomas Tuchel is a priority for the 60-cap forward, who has not played international football since March.

Despite saying in December he is ready for “a new challenge”, it is understood he has not ruled out staying at Old Trafford where he is under contract until 2028.

The club could do with a big windfall for homegrown Rashford as they look to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules and give Amorim funds to reshape the squad.

United held interest in Osimhen last summer, while moves to Chelsea and Saudi fell through.

It led to him being frozen out by Conte and offloaded on loan to Turkish side Galatasaray.

Napoli are second in Serie A and Rashford’s former United team-mates Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay both play for the club.

SunSport revealed this week that Rashford is in talks with sports agency Stellar in the hope of landing a move this month.

They could work alongside Rashford’s brother Dwaine Maynard.

Bayern Munich have already turned down a deal with Rashford.

Juventus were put off by his wages and are focused on landing United striker Joshua Zirkzee on loan.
