Marcus Rashford tipped to join AC Milan
Speaking to ComeOn via The Mirror, Stam said:
“Maybe a swap between Rafael Leao and Marcus Rashford could work.”
The former Man United defender added:
“Leao is also a good player. He has shown his potential at Milan, of course, in what he can do.”
Meanwhile, Stam also warned clubs to consider character alongside talent when targeting players.
“It feels very exciting to bring in these types of players, but you don't need to look at what's the best for right now, you need to look at long-term projects and what's very important for the club,” he said.
Rashford scored a sensational free kick as Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 2-0 on May 10, 2026, to secure the La Liga title with games to spare.
