Fenerbahçe are reportedly considering a major move for Marcus Rashford after Barcelona chose to sign Anthony Gordon instead of making Rashford’s loan permanent. Rashford is said to be on the Turkish club’s three-man shortlist alongside Rafael Leão and Ismaïla Sarr, and representatives have reportedly been contacted. A move to Fenerbahçe could reunite Rashford with former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, although Rashford may also have a route back to Old Trafford under Michael Carrick.
