In an attempt to capture Marcus Rashford from Manchester United this summer, Real Madrid may offer Takefusa Kubo in return.

Real Madrid are reportedly interested in Marcus Rashford, according to a report by the Spanish publication Real Madrid Exclusivo.

In an attempt to sign the 26-year-old attacker, the Merengues have devised a plot. Before making an offer to United for Japanese international Takefusa Kubo, they will re-sign him from Real Sociedad.

Rashford has struggled for form this season at Old Trafford. However, he continues to be among the Premier League’s top strikers over the past several seasons. And even though he has been inconsistent this season, he has made 29 appearances and contributed to 11 goals, scoring five goals and dishing out six assists.

Takefusa Kubo has established a solid foundation for himself in his career since moving from Real Madrid to Real Sociedad more than 18 months ago.

The Japanese international joined La Real in order to get regular playing time after failing to make the Santiago Bernabeu first team. So far in 2023–24, he has had a good season, with six goals and four assists in 27 games.

Kubo’s achievements have not gone unnoticed; United and other prominent teams have taken note.
After re-signing him this summer, sources have indicated that Real Madrid may sell him.

According to the most recent information, Los Blancos intend to make an offer to the 22-year-old in exchange for Marcus Rashford.

Although Rashford has fluctuated in form this season, his stock has not dropped. The English international has attracted the eye of many prominent teams, including Paris Saint-Germain.

The addition of Real Madrid to the mix makes things more difficult since joining Los Blancos is an irresistible possibility.
