Chance of a deal
According to reports in the British media, Rashford is expected to return to Manchester United but will likely leave again on loan. Tottenham are said to be the front-runners, but Fenerbahçe remains in contention especially if they can secure a Champions League spot. If the club can convince Rashford of their project and their ambition to reach the group stage, a loan move could be sealed earlier. However, Manchester United are insisting on a mandatory purchase clause in any potential loan agreement.

Angel Gomes, once regarded as one of Manchester United’s most talented academy players, was handed his debut in 2017 by none other than Jose Mourinho himself. After his contract expired, Gomes signed with Lille in 2020, where he has impressed even earning four England caps. Much like teammate Jonathan David, the 24 year old has announced that he won’t be renewing his contract with Lille and will leave at the end of the season.
Contact made via ROOF agency
Following this news, Fenerbahçe have made initial inquiries about Gomes’ situation. Sporting Director Mario Branco has reportedly reached out to his management company, ROOF, to express interest in the transfer. A meeting between the parties could take place soon.
