Bayern Munich Dey Eye Marcus Rashford: E Fit Change Game for Player and Club
De football transfer market no dey lack drama, and dis tori about Bayern Munich looking at Marcus Rashford don scatter everywhere! De 27-year-old England striker don reach junction wey e no know where e dey go next for Manchester United. Rashford future for Old Trafford no sure, and Bayern Munich interest don make am one of de most talked-about transfer tori for de season.
The struggle
Rashford journey for Manchester United don be like rollercoaster. E burst into scene for 2016 as small boy, scoring two goals for Europa League against Midtjylland and impressing everyone wit e speed, versatility, and knack for goal. Pipo compare am wit big players, and dem hail am as de future of English football. But lately, e form don dey up and down, and pipo don dey yab am say e no dey work hard, e no sabi choose well, and e dey too focus on off-field mata.
For de 2024/25 season, things tough well for Rashford. New coach Ruben Amorim take over Manchester United for late 2024, and e no too like Rashford style for e high-pressing system. Amorim bench am for big games, like de Manchester derby against City. For January 2025, dem loan Rashford go Aston Villa, where e score four goals, but e no convince Unai Emery to pay £40 million to buy am. Rashford later get injury, and Aston Villa talk for June 30, 2025, say dem no go do permanent deal.
Rashford contract wit Manchester United go run till 2028, but e future for Old Trafford no sure. Dem talk say Man United ready to sell am for like €45 million (£40 million/$55.1 million). De club wan raise money for new players and comot big salary pipo wey no fit Amorim plan. Rashford dey earn like £300,000 every week, and dat one dey make e transfer hard. But e wan play for top club and bring e career back to life, so e dey open to move abroad, and Bayern Munich don show interest.
Bayern Munich dey look Rashford as dem wan rebuild dia attack after Leroy Sané waka go Galatasaray for free. Under Vincent Kompany, Bayern dey find winger wey fit play left or striker, and Rashford fit dat profile well. According to _Bild_ and _Bayern Insider_ podcast, Rashford dey dia “longlist” with other big wingers like Bradley Barcola, Nico Williams, Rafael Leão, and Luis Díaz. But as top targets like Williams dey eye Barcelona and others cost pass €60 million, Rashford own €45 million cheap pass.
Bayern bin don dey watch Rashford since February 2023, as X posts talk dat time, but dem say e go only happen if Rashford turn free agent. Now for July 2025, things don change. Bayern need left winger bad, as Serge Gnabry no dey in top form and Kingsley Coman dey always injure. Rashford fit stretch defense, create space for players like Harry Kane, and score from wing or center, wey go sweet Kompany system.
For Rashford, Bayern move fit be de fresh start wey e need to bring e career back. De 27-year-old don talk say e wan play abroad, and e no want join another Premier League club after e say no to Newcastle United and others. E “dream” na to play for Barcelona, but Barca no get money for permanent deal, and dem only fit do loan, wey no go work for Man United wey wan sell. Bayern get money and big name to match Rashford ambition to win trophies.
Rashy connect with senior man Harry Kane
Rashford don talk before say Harry Kane get “finishing second to none” and na “de man for de job” for scoring goals, so e fit enjoy playing with am for Bayern. Bundesliga move go help Rashford comot from de heavy yab wey English media dey give am, and e fit find dat 2022/23 form wey e score 30 goals. But e high salary fit cause wahala, as Bayern no go wan pay £300,000 per week like Man United.
For Man United, to sell Rashford go bring money to help Amorim rebuild. De club wan sign new players, and to comot high earners like Rashford go free up plenty salary space. But to let go homeboy wey don play over 400 games and score pass 130 goals go pain fans, as many still see am as academy star.
For Bayern, to sign Rashford go be big statement. Even if e no be dia number one target, e versatility, experience, and cheap price make am low-risk, high-reward deal. If Rashford fit find e form under Kompany, e fit team up with Kane to help
