Borussia Dortmund are now pushing to sign Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, according to Sky Germany.
Dortmund have held internal talks and have now made the decision to pursue the England international on loan.
The Bundesliga side were distancing themselves from a potential deal earlier this week, with Rashford said not to have been head coach Nuri Sahin’s preferred target.
The anticipated cost – even subsidised – for the forward had reportedly been flagged as above Dortmund’s means.
That stance now appears to have changed, but AC Milan are also very concrete in their interest and are actively trying to secure a deal to sign Rashford themselves.
Rashford’s camp have spoken to a number of European clubs this month to explore the conditions of a deal.
Manchester United’s preference is thought to have been a straight loan departure for Rashford, if they are to allow him to leave Old Trafford
Rashford was once again left out of the matchday squad for Thursday night’s Premier League visit of Southampton.
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim was asked after the FA Cup third round win against Arsenal last weekend if Rashford had played his final game for the club.
Amorim said: “I don’t know. We will see”.
