Shock Rashford To Liverpool Link Amid Barca Stance, Man Utd Talks

The future of Marcus Rashford is still unclear as he faces uncertainty around his future at Old Trafford this summer.

The Sports Market International understands Rashford was one of five players to inform the club they wish to leave this summer, and the Manchester United forward has been attracting interest from the Spanish giant, Barcelona, and the German giant, Bayern Munich. Despite not being part of Ruben Amorim’s plans, MEN Sport reported this week that the 27-year-old winger has been allowed to use the training facilities at Carrington.

But the forward nevertheless appears highly likely to leave this summer and sign for a new club after spending the second half of last season on loan at Premier League rivals Aston Villa.

With that in mind, MEN Sport takes a look at the latest developments surrounding Rashford as he awaits a potential move away from Old Trafford.

Barca ‘yet to make decision’
The Spanish giants are yet to decide whether to sign Rashford this summer. Fabrizio Romano revealed this week that club-to-club talks have yet to take place.

Liverpool ‘consideration’
The Daily Mail claims Liverpool have included Rashford among six potential striker targets, should they fail to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.

It’s also reported that the Anfield outfit have made enquiries about Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, Brentford’s Yoane Wissa, and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, amid growing interest in Darwin Nunez. They are also said to be ‘alert’ to the possibility of Real Madrid selling Rodrygo.

Meanwhile, Rashford has reportedly been ‘floated as an idea,’ though no progress has been made on that front.

Man United ‘talks’
The Mirror reports that Rashford will hold talks with United in the coming week to discuss his future at the club.

According to the report, his representatives are expected to seek clarity on the club’s stance regarding a potential transfer, including what fee or loan terms would be required for an exit this summer.

It remains unclear whether Rashford will leave on a permanent deal or a loan move. United have valued Rashford at £40million.

100% focussed
Amid the transfer uncertainty, Rashford has remained focused on his fitness.

Taking to Instagram, the 27-year-old has recently shared videos of his training sessions.

Rashford has kept a close eye on Barcelona’s social media this week, having been spotted liking two posts – one of which featured Lamine Yamal.

Rashford has his heart set on a move to the Nou Camp and is reportedly willing to lower his salary to help facilitate a transfer to Barcelona.

Saudi Arabia ‘rejection’
According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, ‘powerful’ Saudi Arabian clubs have shown interest in signing Marcus Rashford this summer. One club is reportedly believed to have made a personal offer worth around £35 million to the winger.

However, Rashford is said to have turned down the approach, with his sights still set on a move to Barcelona.
