Overview
- Rashford is on a season-long loan at Barcelona from Manchester United with a reported non-mandatory option to buy of around €30m (£30m) next summer.
- Football365, citing Fichajes, reports Chelsea are mounting an offensive to sign the forward, with earlier coverage also linking Tottenham as a possible suitor.
- Fabrizio Romano has said Barcelona are pleased with Rashford’s impact but will take their time before deciding whether to activate the clause.
- Rashford has impressed under Hansi Flick with six goals and multiple assists, though his reported £325,000-per-week wages would likely need reducing for a permanent Barcelona move.
- Financial adviser Stefan Borson told Football Insider that United could sell Rashford, and potentially Kobbie Mainoo, to bolster their Profit and Sustainability position, stressing any fees mentioned are estimates rather than agreed deals.
