Paris Saint-Germain are believed to be interested in signing Marcus Rashford.

One of Europe's biggest clubs reportedly wants to sign Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, but only on one certain condition. 

The 26-year-old, who has previously been linked with a move to French giants Paris Saint-Germain, is said to still be on their shopping list amid Kylian Mbappe's imminent departure.

The Red Devils No. 10 has struggled to find his best form this season, managing just six goals and two assists in 26 Premier League games so far.

His troubles have not been limited to the pitch, either.

As recently as January, the England international was believed to have been partying irresponsibly at a club in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which reportedly resulted in him missing two training sessions ahead of United's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Newport County.

He then, however, returned to action in the side's thrilling 4-3 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, scoring the opening goal of the encounter. 

Despite the positive performance during that match, the abovementioned incident is said to have put a heavy strain his relationship with manager Erik ten Hag, as well as some of his teammates.

Despite of his form and his disciplinary issues this season, though, the England international remains on PSG's transfer wish list, according to journalist Ben Jacobs. 

"Rashford knows that if he is not back at his best, he does not have leverage at Manchester United or with any other potential suitor. I think the whole Rashford situation will calm and will then pick up again in the summer because he is on PSG's list," he said, per GiveMeSport

The England international renewed his contract with the Old Trafford club in July last year, keeping him at the club until 2028.

Prior to penning that deal, however, the attacker was heavy linked with a move to the Ligue 1 giants. 

As such, Les Parisiens are said to feel as though they were used as a bargaining chip by Rashford and his representatives at the time.

As a result, it is said PSG will only move in on the United academy graduate if he shows a firm interest in joining them. 

"But as much as they like Rashford, PSG also see a player that is out of form compared to 12 months ago," Jacobs added.

“They won't actively reach out to Rashford unless the player indicates, categorically, that he wants to move because they felt their last talks – prior to Rashford renewing his contract at Old Trafford – were being used as leverage.

"PSG don't want their time wasted."
