Marcus Rashford is on Barcelona’s summer wish list.
The 21-year old England international is out of contract at Old Trafford in the summer of 2020, and has yet to agree a new deal with the club. That is despite being offered a substantially improved new contract by United, who are desperate to keep one of their brightest young stars.
Now Barcelona, who have long been admirers of Rashford, could be set to take advantage of his contractual position by making a bid for him with a figure of up to £100 million being quoted.
Rashford does not want to leave his boyhood club but until such time as he has agreed a new deal, transfer speculation around him is likely to swirl.
Providing he is fit, Barcelona will get the chance to see Rashford up close and personal when the two sides meet in their upcoming Champions League quarter-finals next month.
