According to the Telegraph, Marcus Rashford could receive an offer to play in the Saudi Pro League. Rashford is being sought by the top four teams in the league, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli. In addition, the English striker has also been linked with newly promoted team Al-Qadsiah.

However, it is unclear whether Marcus Rashford wants to stay and play in Europe's top leagues. Rashford is only 27 years old and needs to play for a European team to convince coach Thomas Tuchel to bring him back to the England team. Rashford has not played for the "Three Lions" since the match against Brazil in March this year.

Rashford's best chance of playing in Europe is to move to a club on loan with an option to buy, but United may not be interested in this option.

For Saudi clubs, it is more feasible to make an offer in the summer transfer window. Rashford's wages and transfer fee are not an issue for these clubs.

PSG have also been linked with Marcus Rashford. According to Sky Sports, Man United have been open to offers for Rashford since January. The main problem is that Rashford is currently not being pursued by many teams in Europe due to his behaviour off the pitch, poor form and very high salary. If he accepts a pay cut, Rashford still has the opportunity to stay in the Premier League and play for teams in London.
