Bayern enter race for Rashford as Man United slap £40m price tag on forward

Bayern Munich are exploring a surprise move for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, who has been made available for transfer this summer.

The 27-year-old England international endured a turbulent 2024/25 season, netting just four goals and providing six assists in 27 appearances for Unai Emery’s Villa side.

Despite his performance, Bayern are reportedly intrigued by his potential return to form and could table a formal offer, according to SunSport.

Manchester United have set an asking price of approximately £40 million for Rashford, a figure that reflects his current form and their willingness to offload him as part of a broader squad revamp.

The club are also open to alternative arrangements, including a loan deal or a player swap.

Rashford, a United academy graduate, is believed to be prioritising a move abroad. Barcelona are among the clubs monitoring his situation, though their financial constraints could make a permanent deal difficult.

Meanwhile, Bayern boss Vincent Kompany is pushing to reinforce his frontline, with Liverpool winger Luis Diaz also on his radar.

Barcelona previously saw a bid for Diaz rejected, and the Colombian has expressed openness to staying at Anfield, though he remains aware of the ongoing market interest.
