Can Arsenal convince Rashford?
The opportunity to join a club like Arsenal could also be an interesting option for the player, especially if Barcelona decide to back out on a permanent transfer. He will want to compete at the highest level and play regularly. Arsenal could offer him that platform.
The Gunners are favorites to win the Premier League this season and also reached the final of the UEFA Champions League. There is no doubt that they are one of the best teams in the world and any player would want to join them.
The asking price is very reasonable and Arsenal have the financial wherewithal to make a deal happen. However, he earns £325,000 a week and his salary may need to be adjusted to make the deal work.
Arsenal would not want to pay that kind of money for a 28-year-old.
Meanwhile, he has 13 goals and 14 assists this season and could be a huge upgrade over the likes of Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke.
