Marcus Rashford has reportedly rejected an approach from Galatasaray, as the Manchester United forward weighs up his future options.

While Saudi Arabian clubs have made lucrative offers, Rashford is prioritizing a move to a top European club to maintain his international ambitions with England.

Galatasaray, who were keen to sign Rashford on loan for the remainder of the season, have had their approach rebuffed.

According to Fabrizio Romano, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund are now leading the race for Rashford’s signature.

Romano tweeted on X: “Movements around Marcus Rashford have started as expected,” he wrote. “Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan have both asked for conditions of the deal.

“More contacts are planned, meanwhile, Galatasaray also approached Rashford this week but he’s prioritising other options in top 5 leagues now.”

The 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford after falling out of favor under manager Ruben Amorim.

Both clubs have made initial inquiries and are expected to hold further discussions with the player and his representatives.

Rashford’s representatives are currently in Italy to hold talks with AC Milan, suggesting a potential move to Serie A is currently the most likely outcome.

However, a move to Dortmund or even a return to form at Manchester United remains a possibility.

The January transfer window is still open, and Rashford’s future will likely be decided in the coming days.
