The saga surrounding Marcus Rashford’s future is entering a decisive phase, and the English forward’s next destination could very well be Italy. According to the Daily Mail, Juventus have shown serious interest in signing Rashford, who has been out of Manchester United’s plans for some time now.Back in December, Rashford publicly stated that he was “ready for a new challenge”, clearly signaling the end of his long journey with the Red Devils – a club he joined as a child. Last season, he was loaned out to Aston Villa, where he scored four goals, but the Birmingham club opted not to make the move permanent.Manchester United is letting Rashford go, but everything has its priceWhile Barcelona are still considered the front-runner in the race for Rashford’s signature, his hefty weekly wage of £300,000 remains a major obstacle. Spanish media report that Barca’s sporting director Deco is skeptical about the deal and is waiting for player sales to free up room in the club’s wage budget.Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce are reportedly willing to meet United’s £40 million asking price. Mourinho, who previously coached Rashford during his time at Old Trafford, is said to be keen on reuniting with the forward and bringing him to the Turkish giants.##NAJAVA_MECA_9019114##However, Juventus has now entered the race, looking to bolster its attacking options. Crucially, the Old Turin Lady can offer Rashford what United simply can’t – Champions League football. Juve finished fourth in Serie A last season and sees Rashford as a compelling option to strengthen their front line.’Rash hour’ – Special (One) reason to join Mou’s crewThe 27-year-old, who still has three years remaining on his contract with United, is currently training separately from the first team, alongside four other players deemed surplus to requirements by new manager Ruben Amorim.In a telling sign of how strained the situation has become, Rashford has lost his iconic No. 10 shirt, which has been handed to new signing Matheus Cunha, brought in for a reported £62.5 million. Rashford is also only allowed to use club facilities when Amorim and the first team are not present.##NAJAVA_MECA_9019151##
