Barcelona are considering making a bid for Manchester United and England forward Marcus Rashford if they cannot land either Antoine Griezmann or former player Neymar this summer.
They have long been linked with a move for Griezmann, who has already announced he is leaving his current club Atlético Madrid this summer. But, as yet, no deal has come to fruition. Meanwhile, plans to re-sign Neymar from PSG are regarded as ambitious, given the likely fee involved.
The Catalans are looking for long-term replacements for Luis Suárez, with the Uruguay international, now 32, and regarded as being on the wane as a potent force in front of goal.
Rashford meanwhile, who scored a penalty for England in mid-week in the course of their 3 – 1 loss to the Netherlands in the Nations League, has yet to sign the new deal that has been offered to him at Old Trafford, although United are confident he will commit his long-term future to the club.

Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
