After his stint at Aston Villa, the Englishman is likely to seek a new destination
Bayern Munich’s main focus in this transfer window remains the pursuit of Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade, but that hasn’t stopped the club from keeping a close eye on potential reinforcements out wide. And now, an intriguing name is back on the radar — one that’s sure to stir excitement among fans.
What began as a far-fetched rumor has gained serious traction. According to the BILD podcast Bayern Insider, Bayern is genuinely weighing up a move for Marcus Rashford.

Once the face of Manchester United and considered untouchable, the England international has seen his status shift dramatically. Tensions with coach Ruben Amorim led to a mid-season loan to Aston Villa, where Rashford rediscovered his form and confidence.
The versatile forward — capable of playing both on the left wing and centrally — aligns well with Bayern’s tactical needs. He now features on the club’s so-called “longlist,” trailing marquee targets like Bradley Barcola, Nico Williams, Rafael Leao, and Luis Diaz. BILD previously reported Bayern’s interest in Diaz specifically.
Scouts are already well-versed in Rashford’s game and the financial implications of a potential deal. Manchester United is reportedly seeking around 45 million euros for him, and with no real future left at Old Trafford, a move seems likely.
Despite sporting director Max Eberl’s insistence on a tight budget, Bayern may still push for a pure left winger — whether or not Woltemade arrives. And Rashford, without question, fits that bill.
