Marcus Rashford has been one of the most intriguing names in European football over the last couple years. His career looked dead in the water as his boy hood club Manchester United, wanted to get rid of him, and no teams wanted to sign him. However, FC Barcelona took a chance on him bringing him in on loan this season.

Rashford has shined for Barcelona proving his worth to European sides over this campaign. However, he will likely not stay at Barcelona as he is not needed with the wing depth of Lamine Yamal, Raphina and Ferran Torres playing for Barca. He is not wanted at United ever as they have turned their team around without him.

This will see Rashford put on the market as a summer for teams across Europe. According to CalcioMercatoIT Juventus could be one of the teams that reach out to Manchester United to try and sign Rashford. The Bianconeri could be in the market to sign attackers this summer.

Juventus will look to build a team for new coach Luciano Spalletti, next summer. Jeremie Boga has been a good addition to start,  but the future of Edon Zhegrova is still uncertain in Turin. Juventus could look for additions even if they keep Zhegrova which is why Rashford is a good option.

Rashford could be available for less than 30 million euros this summer, which is his buy out clause at Barcelona. This is cheap enough for Juventus to sign Rashford and make other signings.  However the main financial obstacle for Rashford joining Juventus as his salary is 11 million euros per season, where at Juventus, Rashford would likely get less than half of that.

Leon Goretzka has spent the last seven years at Bayern Munich, and now him and the club have agreed it is time to part ways. This will see Goretzka leave Bayern as a free agent this summer, which has enticed Serie A sides. Due, to government and cultural reasons Serie A sides see less in TV and Matchday revenue than other big European leagues.

This has seen Serie A teams rely on free agents in the past, Inter have been the most common with Marcus Thuram and many others shining for them. However, they are not the onlys as Napoli and AC Milan caught up on the action with Kevin De Bryune and Luka Modric last summer.

Goretzka could be another one of these big names as he could team up with Luka Modric next season according to Corriere Dello Sport. This comes as Milan have offered Goretzka a three year deal worth 5 million euros per season to see him come to Milan. Massimiliano Allegri was the name who suggested the move, as he wants Goretzka in a midfield with Rabiot and Modric.

However, the move still hangs in the balance as European football is a key factor. Firstly, Goretzka wants to play at the highest level next season so Champions League is a must. It will also be a key finical factor for AC Milan to be able to afford Goretzka wages and complete other signings.

Champions League is no certainty for AC Milan as of now as they only sit in third place. They have five points on fifth place Como but they have recently had a dip in form which has worried some fans, as they could lose a top four finish. If this where to happen, Inter Milan, Napoli and Juventus would all be ready to scoop up Goretzka as a free agent instead of Milan.

AC Milan have plenty of team needs that need fixing if they want to challenge for the Scudetto next season. There main problem this season has been in attack as a lack of goalscoring, which has caused them to drop easy points. Italian tabloid Corriere is now reporting that the Rossoneri have plans to fix it.

Milan will also have to make these changes this summer, or else they could lose manager Massimiliano Allegri quickly. Allegri is the leading name for the Italian National team job, but for now he wants to finish his job at Milan. However, if they fail to meet his investment he could decide to jump ship.

The first name that Milan is considering a move for Robert Lewandowski, who could leave Barcelona this summer. There has been talks of Lewandowski making a move to Milan or Juventus for the last few weeks. However it seems now that Milan are taking the lead to sign Lewandowski.

This comes as Calciomercato is reporting that Lewandowski agent Pini Zhiavi meet with Milan last night. Milan where pitching the idea of Lewandowski coming to AC Milan. Lewandowski would need to take a serious pay cut to join AC Milan next season. This is why Milan are preparing backup options.

Dusan Vlahovic is currently in talks for Juventus over a new deal however, if those go sour Milan could swoop in for a deal. This would please Allegri as he worked with Vlahovic for Juventus with the pair being successful together. They could also make a shock move to sign Paulo Dybala on a performance based contract, as he will likely leave Roma as a free agent this summer.
