Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has clarified Bayern Munich’s stance on Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, revealing the German club recently explored the player’s situation without moving into formal talks. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said Bayern made calls in the last two to three weeks to understand where Rashford stands, but there has been no negotiation or bid. According to Romano, some figures at Bayern admire Rashford’s qualities and versatility, yet the club’s recruitment focus is currently leaning toward a different profile. One example he cited is Ismael Saibari, a technically distinct and more economical option in both salary and transfer outlay compared with Rashford. Romano stressed that any potential Rashford pursuit would be a completely different scale of deal, given the costs associated with signing a marquee Premier League attacker under a long-term contract. That financial context, combined with Bayern’s squad-planning priorities, means Rashford is not the first-choice target at this moment. The update helps to cool speculation that had linked the England international with a high-profile switch to the Bundesliga. For Manchester United, the development indicates there is no immediate pressure from Bayern on Rashford’s future. United, now operating under the INEOS-led football structure, continue to assess their own attacking plans this window, including the search for an additional striker to balance the forward line. While Bayern’s admiration underscores Rashford’s standing in European football, the absence of an active approach suggests any narrative of an imminent move is premature. Instead, the Bavarian club appears to be prioritizing targets that fit specific tactical needs and a more efficient cost structure. Romano’s message is clear: appreciation exists, inquiries were made, but Bayern’s attention has shifted elsewhere for now. As the window progresses, circumstances can change—particularly if valuations move or if other targets become unavailable—but, at present, Rashford to Bayern is not advancing. United supporters can therefore expect continuity unless a substantially new dynamic emerges later in the market.
