One of the most intriguing rumors in recent days concerns Marcus RashfordManchester United star striker. According to the France Football journalist, Nabil Djellitthis transfer, although improbable, could have interesting repercussions for the club and Ligue 1.
In remarks made on L'Equipe TV, Djellit shared his analysis of transfer rumors regarding the English international. In his eyes, attracting Rashford to OM would be a difficult feat to achieve. “It would be an achievement to attract Rashford, because for him it's decline. I don't want to disrespect OM, but two years ago, he was talking with Nasser (Al-Khelaïfi) and his brother about signing for PSG. He’s still a player who was destined for Bayern, Barça, Liverpool… well, for this category of clubs”said the journalist. These comments illustrate the distance between Rashford's current level and the most prestigious European clubs, and the difficulty for a club like OM, not qualified for the Champions Leagueto compete with these giants.

Marcus Rashford has long been considered one of the most promising young talents in European football, with direct links to clubs including Bayern Munich, FC Barcelona and Liverpool. However, the striker is currently having a tougher time at Manchester United, fueling speculation over his future. However, Djellit believes that the idea of seeing a player of this caliber arrive in Ligue 1 remains difficult to imagine. “If you go back, it’s unimaginable”he emphasizes, highlighting the gap between Rashford's expected trajectory and the idea of such a transfer to a championship like the Ligue 1.
However, Nabil Djellit does not completely close the door to a possible transfer. He recognizes that even if it seems unlikely, it could represent a masterstroke for OM. “He would arrive at a club which is not in the Champions League and which plays not in La Liga or the Premier League, but in Ligue 1. So, for him, if you make a career projection and you go back , it's unimaginable. But it would be great for OM and Ligue 1”he concludes.
Rashford, an unlikely option?
So, although Marcus Rashford is far from being an easy objective to achieve for Olympique de Marseille, such a transfer would undoubtedly be beneficial for the club and the Ligue 1helping to increase the visibility and attractiveness of the French championship.
