Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi says his side is interested in signing Marcus Rashford at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old struggled to make an impression for the Red Devils during the 2021-22 season, only scoring five goals and registering two assists in 32 appearances across all competitions.
However, he has been in excellent form for the English giants this season under Erik ten Hag, scoring eight goals and registering three assists in 19 games.
Rashford also played for England at the 2022 World Cup, scoring three goals in four matches as the Three Lions advanced to the quarterfinals.
The attacker’s contract at Old Trafford is set to expire in June, but the Red Devils have the option to extend it for another year.
However, Rashford will be a free agent in 2023, and Al-Khelaifi has stated that he is interested in discussing with the Englishman about a move to Paris.
“He’s another player that is really amazing,” Al-Khelaifi told Sky Sports News. “And for free? To have Rashford for free, every club would run after him, definitely.
“We’re not hiding it, we spoke before and… interest. But the moment was not a good moment for both sides. Maybe, summer, why not?
“Today if he’s a free agent of course we can talk to him directly but we are not going to talk to him now. Let him focus on the World Cup. Then after in January, hopefully, if we’re interested we will talk to him.”

Man United are expected to trigger the 12-month extension before initiating contract negotiations for a potential new long-term deal.
Rashford has scored 101 goals and registered 61 assists in 322 appearances for Manchester United since breaking into the first squad in 2015.
