Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford will be loaned out to Europe for the next five months, but his destination is not yet clear. However, Serie A seems to be fading into the background as an option.
Rashford's brother was due to meet with Manchester United on Wednesday, with the Red Devils looking to resolve his future as quickly as possible, a meeting that AC Milan were waiting to see if they might be able to sign Rashford. But now that meeting is over, GdS say (via Sport) that the Rossoneri have more or less given up hope of signing him, believing his preference is for Barcelona.
The Blaugrana have made Rashford their priority in the transfer market and have spoken to his agents about the amount of his wages they could cover, which would require either Rashford or United to compromise. However, Barcelona need an exit first to create enough space in their salary cap to complete the deal, but Milan believe Rashford will wait for the Catalan giants until the end of the window.
Despite this, Rashford will listen to other offers, with the likes of AS Monaco and Juventus also linked to him. However, Borussia Dortmund are the team that have made a convincing economic offer for Rashford, and Barcelona will not want to keep Rashford waiting too long.
Barcelona appear to have convinced Ronald Araujo to stay at the club for the coming seasons, raising questions over the futures of Andreas Christensen and Eric Garcia. The latter has been linked with Girona, while Ansu Fati is seen as another candidate to leave the club if he decides to look for a move.
