MARCUS RASHFORD is reportedly wanted by Serie A side Como.
Cesc Farbegas’ Italian outfit have been ambitious in the transfer market since their promotion out of Serie B.
In the summer transfer window, Como signed the likes of Andrea Belotti and Nico Paz.
The club also added free agents such as Spanish stars Pepe Reina, Alberto Moreno and Sergi Roberto.
Reports in Italy have now claimed they have set their sights on Rashford.
The club could rival other interested parties such as AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund.
Di Marzio have claimed that Como will have “no problem” with the deal for Rashford from an “economic point of view”.
Como will also be boosted with Rashford’s former team-mates Raphael Varane and Dele Alli at the club.
Varane is working as an ambassador after retiring from football during the season due to injury.
While Alli, who played with Rashford with England, is training with the Lombardi side.
It is suggested that the pair could try to convince the Red Devils star to pick Como this month.
Rashford‘s brother and agent Dwaine was in Milan this week speaking to AC Milan over a potential deal.

Rashford is on a whopping £325,000-per-week which means the club would still need to pay £162,500 a week while he plays with AC Milan.

Arsenal legend Fabregas‘ side do have a game in hand over their rivals and winning that could lift the club to at least 12th.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur are reported to be plotting a shock loan move.
German giants Borussia Dortmund are also keen on him and are willing to battle for his signature.
