Marcus Rashford has reportedly turned down massive offers from Saudi Arabian clubs, reaffirming his commitment to staying in Europe.
Despite his comments hinting at a potential departure from Manchester United, the 27-year-old forward’s move has proven challenging due to his substantial salary of £325,000 per week (€390,000). Few clubs in England or Europe are willing to accommodate his high wages.
Saudi teams Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli, and Al-Qadsiah made substantial offers to lure Rashford, including a staggering €40 million annual salary. However, the England international declined, signaling his intention to remain in Europe to pursue top-tier competition and prepare for the 2026 World Cup. Turkish clubs also expressed interest, but Rashford rejected their advances as well.
Rashford’s decision highlights his focus on staying competitive at the highest level, even as his future at Manchester United remains uncertain. For now, he is determined to secure his place with a top European team and continue showcasing his talents on the global stage.
