Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford has reportedly turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia.
Mundo Derpotivo reports that the Englishman, who Barcelona targets, rejected an eye-watering £600,000-per-week deal.
Rashford has been kept out of the Red Devils’ first team by Ruben Amorim and is expected to leave the club in the ongoing January window.
The 27-year-old England international was first kept out of the United matchday squad to face Manchester City at the Etihad in December 2024.
Since then, the forward has not played a minute for the club in the Premier League, a suggestion he could head out of Old Trafford sooner or later.
LaLiga giants, Barcelona are among the few clubs indicating interest in the Manchester United academy graduate.
Rashford also has interest from outside Europe, with Mundo Derpotivo claiming he turned down a £600,000-per-week contract from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club.
The report claimed the player is keen on staying in Europe and favours a move to Barcelona this winter.
Barcelona are also said to be keen on signing Rashford on loan but have less than a week to complete the move.
The Spaniards would also have to make space in Hansi Flick’s team and find a way to cover the Englishman’s huge wages should a loan move eventually work out.
