Manchester United Transfer News- AC Milan's Interest in Rashford

Reports in Italy state that Milan has consented to loan Swiss forward Noah Okafor to RB Leipzig, with a prospective permanent transfer valued at €25 million (£21 million).
The major hurdle in this potential transfer is Rashford's high salary. Presently receiving around £325,000 weekly at Manchester United, any club intending to sign him has to take on a substantial portion of that salary. According to The Mirror Milan is considering a loan arrangement for Rashford till the season's end but is hesitant to accept even fifty percent of his existing salary. The difference is an important point in the current negotiations.
Rashford has clearly stated his desire for a new challenge, and a transfer to AC Milan may offer him the fresh start he needs. Rashford may be willing to accept a significant wage reduction to enable his transfer to Milan. This willingness may be crucial to simplifying the move.
Dane Rashford, Marcus Rashford's brother and agent, has been working hard behind the scenes to make the move official. Dane just got back from a trip to Italy to talk terms with AC Milan. The talks are still going on, and both sides are looking for innovative methods to close the wage gap to seal the deal.
