Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has admitted that he would be interested in signing Marcus Rashford as a free agent next summer.

Rashford’s contract at Manchester United expires in June, though the Red Devils are expected to activate a clause to extend the deal by another year in the near future.

However, that hasn’t stopped interest in the England forward’s services from mounting. PSG have long been linked with a move for Rashford, and Al-Khelaifi has stoked those fires in an interview with Sky Sports.

“[Rashford] is another player that is really amazing,” he said. “And for free? To have Rashford for free, every club would run after him, definitely.

“We’re not hiding it, we spoke before and…[there was] interest. But the moment was not a good moment for both sides. Maybe, summer, why not?

“Today if he’s a free agent of course we can talk to him directly but we are not going to talk to him now. Let him focus on the World Cup. Then after in January, hopefully, if we’re interested we will talk to him.”
