PSG Transfer Rumors: Al-Khelaïfi’s Long-Standing Interest in Marcus Rashford Rekindled?

Paris Saint-Germain is expected to be active in the upcoming summer transfer window. After a relatively quiet summer of 2025 with only the additions of Lucas Chevalier and Illya Zabarnyi, the club appears poised to make significant moves, potentially reshaping its attack. At the center of speculation is a familiar name – Marcus Rashford, a player long admired by PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.

Recent reports suggest PSG could be preparing a substantial overhaul of its squad. Journalist Fabrice Hawkins, speaking on RMC, indicated a busy summer ahead for the Parisian club. “I think there will be a big mercato for PSG next summer. High-level players will arrive, I think. I don’t rule out that Mayulu, Barcola and Dembélé will extend their contracts. Automatically, there will be a musical chairs situation with important arrivals,” Hawkins stated.

Le PSG on Marcus Rashford?

While other attacking targets like Ayyoub Bouaddi (LOSC) and Julian Alvarez (Atlético de Madrid) have been linked with PSG, the possibility of a renewed pursuit of Marcus Rashford has emerged. Currently on loan from Manchester United to FC Barcelona, Rashford continues to attract interest from PSG, according to reports from Caught Offside. The report as well notes that AC Milan has also entered the race for the England international this summer.

Al-Khelaïfi’s Long-Held Admiration

The connection between Rashford and PSG isn’t new. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has publicly expressed his admiration for the player for several years. Prior to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Al-Khelaïfi openly discussed his desire to bring Rashford to Paris. “Every club would like to have Rashford for free. We are not going to talk with him now. Let him focus on the World Cup. After, in January, I hope we can talk with him,” the PSG president said at the time.

The situation is further complicated by Rashford’s current loan spell at Barcelona. His performance with the Catalan club will undoubtedly influence his future, and both PSG and AC Milan are monitoring his progress closely. The potential for a bidding war could drive up the transfer fee, but Al-Khelaïfi’s long-standing interest suggests PSG may be willing to pay a premium for a player they’ve coveted for years.

For PSG, adding a player of Rashford’s caliber would bolster their attacking options and provide a dynamic threat to opposing defenses. Though, the club will need to navigate the complexities of a potential transfer, including Rashford’s willingness to move and the financial demands of both Barcelona and Manchester United. The summer transfer window promises to be an intriguing period for PSG, and the pursuit of Marcus Rashford could be one of the defining storylines.
