The Arsenal transfer market is considering a loan deal for Marcus Rashford, the winger from Manchester United, as an alternative due to difficulties in finalizing the arrival of Julián Álvarez. This operation is being considered in the final stretch of the summer market after the departure of Gabriel Martinelli to Al-Hilal for an amount exceeding 65 million euros.

Arsenal changes plans with Rashford

The interest in Rashford arises as Arsenal keeps the door open for Julián Álvarez. The English press indicates pessimism about the Argentine forward leaving Atlético de Madrid, leading the London team to explore other options to strengthen their attack.

Rashford, 28 years old, returned to Manchester United after a loan spell at Barcelona last season. During that period, he played 49 games, scoring 14 goals and 11 assists, as reported by specialized sources following the player's current status.

Rashford's future at Old Trafford is also not completely defined. The English international has rejoined Michael Carrick's squad, although a permanent exit has not been finalized during the summer.

The approach Arsenal is considering involves a loan, a different path from the deal they are pursuing for Álvarez. The feasibility hinges on Manchester United agreeing to let the player leave temporarily in the final days of the transfer window.

Julián Álvarez remains Arsenal's priority

The move for Rashford does not signal the abandonment of Julián Álvarez. Arsenal continues to monitor the Argentine's situation, though recent reports suggest challenges in reaching an agreement with Atlético de Madrid.

Álvarez is under contract with Atlético until 2030 with a release clause of 500 million euros. The Madrid club rejected a 100 million euro offer from Barcelona during the summer, highlighting the complexity of negotiating for the forward.

For Arsenal, the need to find an alternative stems from Martinelli's departure. The Brazilian has given the green light for his move to Al-Hilal, as both clubs finalize a deal surpassing 65 million euros.

An operation pending for the final days

The scenario could shift before the market closes. Arsenal must decide whether to pursue Rashford while keeping the Álvarez option open, but the Manchester United forward has also received signals of staying at Old Trafford.

Moreover, later reports suggested that Rashford had turned down a move to Arsenal to compete for a place at Manchester United. Consequently, the next steps in the operation rely on the player's decision and the stances of both clubs.

Arsenal thus holds two scenarios for the final days of the market: Julián Álvarez remains a target, while Marcus Rashford is seen as an alternative, though his potential arrival at the Emirates is now conditioned by his choice to stay at Manchester United.
