Two Saudi Pro League clubs, Al Qadsiah and Al-Diraiyah, have established their interest in signing Marcus Rashford this summer, according to Ben Jacobs.
The sides ‘have made approaches’ to Manchester United, but are waiting on confirmation that he would even be open to a Saudi Arabian switch, especially at this stage of his career.

Al-Hilal, where former Premier League stars Ruben Neves and Darwin Nunez are currently playing, are also seeking a ‘big name’ addition.
Yet, such a transfer would see Rashford pull the curtains on his European career, even if only temporarily, while in his prime.
He has just overseen a stellar campaign up front for Barcelona, returning a perfectly poised 14 goals and 14 assists in 49 appearances, and got off the mark in his first World Cup 2026 appearance by scoring off the bench on Wednesday night.

Rashford’s impactful cameo will have left Thomas Tuchel pondering over whether he should promote the Carrington graduate to the starting XI for England’s clash with Ghana on Tuesday night.

Rashford’s complete record in all competitions for United
Barcelona’s £26 million buy option expired on Monday, meaning new terms would have to be negotiated if he were to continue at Camp Nou next season.
Reports have also suggested that Bayern Munich are considering a swoop for Rashford after missing out on Anthony Gordon, though the forward would have to accept a reduction on his £325,000-a-week wages, which have increased following United’s Champions League qualification.
