AC Milan have reportedly abandoned their pursuit of Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford to focus on signing Manchester City defender Kyle Walker.
Serie A regulations restrict top-flight Italian clubs to registering only one British player per year.
Faced with the choice between the two English stars, Milan have decided to prioritize a move for Walker.
Walker, who has requested to leave Manchester City, has emerged as a top target for Milan.
However, reaching an agreement with City on a transfer fee for the player, whose contract runs until 2026, remains a significant hurdle. A loan move has also been discussed as a potential option.
Rashford, who has publicly expressed his desire for a new challenge, is now facing a potential setback in his search for a new club.
While Milan have withdrawn their interest, the forward has attracted attention from other European clubs, including Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona.
Dortmund officials reportedly held talks with Rashford’s brothers on Thursday, aiming to convince the forward to join the Bundesliga club on loan for the remainder of the season.
