Atletico Madrid is considering a move for Alejandro Garnacho as Paris Saint-Germain loses interest in Marcus Rashford.

As the dust settles on the weekend’s Manchester derby, all eyes have turned to the future of Marcus Rashford. However, it seems that Alejandro Garnacho is also in the spotlight, with reports emerging that Atletico Madrid are monitoring his situation at Manchester United.

Garnacho, the Argentine winger, was surprisingly omitted from the squad for the derby, a decision made by new manager Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese tactician stated that his choice was based on the young player’s performances in training since taking the reins. This has piqued the interest of several European clubs, including Atletico Madrid, who had Garnacho in their youth ranks before he made the switch to Old Trafford in 2020.

The Sun reports that Atletico are keen to keep tabs on Garnacho’s situation, as they consider a potential return for the talented winger.

**Guardiola Once Wanted Rashford**

In a twist of fate, it has come to light that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola once had his sights set on Marcus Rashford. According to journalist Andy Mitten, Guardiola identified Rashford as the one player he would like to poach from their local rivals, Manchester United.

The Mirror recounts that Guardiola’s admiration for Rashford was expressed during a dinner with a former United player. At that time, Rashford was in fine form, even as United struggled on the pitch. Mitten relayed the anecdote, stating, “I remember a former United player telling me that he was at a dinner with Pep Guardiola, and Pep said, the only player that I would take from Manchester United is Rashford.” This revelation adds another layer of intrigue to Rashford’s uncertain future, especially after he was dropped from the matchday squad in the recent derby.

**PSG Distance Themselves from Rashford Deal**

In further developments regarding Rashford’s future, The Athletic has reported that Paris Saint-Germain are no longer as keen on signing the England international. Initially linked with a move, PSG’s interest appears to have cooled significantly, particularly in light of Rashford’s recent comments.

United are not in a rush to sell Rashford in January, but they would consider a substantial offer. However, attracting such an offer may prove challenging. With over three years remaining on his contract, United are within their rights to demand a hefty transfer fee, although club sources have downplayed the notion of a £40 million asking price.

PSG’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, previously praised Rashford during the 2022 World Cup, but it seems that the Ligue 1 giants are now distancing themselves from speculation surrounding a potential transfer.

**Marseille Open to Pogba Deal**

In a separate transfer saga, Marseille president Pablo Longoria has hinted that the club is not ruling out a move for Paul Pogba. The former Manchester United midfielder is set to be available on a free transfer in January, with the possibility of returning to action as early as March.

The Daily Mail reports that Pogba’s four-year drugs ban was reduced to 18 months earlier this season, leading to speculation about his next move. Various clubs have been linked with the talented midfielder, including Corinthians in Brazil and even Manchester City, which would be a surprising twist.

At a press conference, Longoria was asked about Marseille’s interest in Pogba. He responded, “I’m not closing the door, because he’s a world-class player.” This statement leaves the door ajar for a potential reunion between Pogba and the French club, adding yet another layer of intrigue to the January transfer window.
