When Don Balon get a rumour idea in their head, they publish a story on every conceivable angle of it.
Strangely, this week the Spanish imagirumour website have set their sights on Marcus Rashford, throwing out a few stories about Real Madrid wanting the young striker.
So, somewhere along the line, they were always to bring Gareth Bale into proceedings, and that’s happened today.
The ‘loco’ transfer efforts from Real Madrid would see the Welshman offered in exchange for Rashford, with Florentino Perez said to be so determined to the Manchester United player that he’ll do it ‘at all costs’.
It’s thought such an offer is ‘more than enough’, but Jose Mourinho doesn’t want to part with the 20 year old and therefore Manchester United are resisting advances.
At this point, Don Balon seemed to completely forget that their whole article was about Perez’s obsession to sign Rashford, and suggest Paul Pogba could be used in a deal for Bale instead.
