Tottenham are considering a £40m move for Marcus Rashford as Roberto De Zerbi continues to reshape his attack.
Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a £40 million move for Marcus Rashford, with the England international the next target on the club’s transfer wish list this summer, according to Gary Ward on X.
The reported interest adds another high-profile name to what is already one of the most ambitious recruitment drives in Tottenham’s recent history, joining Sandro Tonali, Savinho, Cody Gakpo, Adam Wharton, and Mateus Fernandes on a list of targets that underlines the scale of the rebuild Roberto De Zerbi and the Lewis family are attempting to execute.

Rashford’s availability at £40 million represents a significant opportunity given the level of talent involved. He finished 2025/26 at Barcelona on an impressive 28 G/A, on loan from Manchester United.
For De Zerbi, Rashford’s profile offers pace, directness, and the ability to operate across the frontline, qualities that complement the attacking options already available at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. His left-footed delivery from wide areas and willingness to run in behind defensive lines would add a dimension to Tottenham’s attack that aligns with the progressive, high-tempo football De Zerbi has consistently sought to implement throughout his managerial career.
At £40 million, the asking price is arguably modest relative to Rashford’s peak valuation, reflecting the turbulence of his final period at Manchester United and the uncertainty that has surrounded him since. For a club investing heavily across multiple positions simultaneously, the relative affordability of the deal compared to the likes of Tonali at over €100 million or Gakpo from Liverpool makes it an attractive proposition, particularly if De Zerbi believes he can restore the England international to his best.
Rashford interest adds another major name to Tottenham rebuild
Whether Tottenham can manage the volume of negotiations currently active simultaneously, spanning goalkeeping, central defence, midfield, and multiple attacking positions, will be the defining challenge of a summer window that is rapidly shaping up to be one of the most consequential in the club’s modern history.
