According to a report, Como FC has joined the race to sign Marcus Rashford in this January transfer window.

Rashford has struggled to hit the ground running this season for Manchester United, which has limited his playing time at the club.

Under the new manager Ruben Amorin, the forward has been left out of the team on several occasions, which has triggered rumours of a possible exit.

The likes of AC Milan and Juventus have all expressed their interest in the England international, with his agent already in Italy to discuss a loan deal with Rossoneri.

Como want Rashford

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio via Daily Mail, claims that Como, a wealthy Serie A team led by former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas, has joined an increasing number of suitors.

The forward, who stated in a shocking interview last month that he is prepared for a "new challenge" and discussed leaving Old Trafford as a "when" rather than a "if," is being sought after by Manchester United.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

The club's ideal price for Rashford, whose contract was extended in 2023 and now expires in 2028, is £40 million. However, the England international's loan in January appears to be the most likely option.

Como, now ranked 16th in Serie A, is the third Italian team in the last week to be linked to a deal for the attacker.

Any agreement would depend on the percentage of his salary that United is willing to pay and the amount of the charge if a purchase agreement is in place.

The estimated weekly salary for the forward is approximately £325,000. Alvaro Morata, the highest paid player at Milan, is rumoured to get £150,000 per week.
