West Ham’s chances of signing Marcus Rashford on a loan transfer from Manchester United are described as slim to none.
The 27-year-old is widely reported to earn £325,000 per week with up to £75,000 per week in bonuses.
Manchester United are said to be willing to subsidise some of his wages in a loan deal although the loanee club willing to pay the highest loan fee will probably have the best chance of securing his services.
Rashford’s basic wage until the end of June is £6.1m so the Manchester club are only likely to entertain offers of £3m or greater.
The player is said to prefer Champions League football and until today AC Milan seems to be in pole position with Milan offloading Noah Okafor to RB Leipzig but that deal collapsed after a failed medical putting Rashford’s loan deal in doubt.
Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Spurs are all reported to have an interest in a loan deal for Rashford who is valued at £46m down from £72m three years ago.
