Aston Villa is almost a loan agreement similar to Manchester United for Marcus Rashford.
Discussions are underway about whether the loan has an option to buy this summer.
Villa will cover a considerable part of the wage of Rashford during his time in Villa Park.
Sky Sports News understands that Villa has made the switch as a result of the sale of Jhon Duran to Al Nassr.
The side of Unai Emery is also interested in Marcos Asensio and Chelsea by Paris Saint-Germain and Joao Felix van Chelsea, as confirmed by Villas President of Football Operations Monchi.
Seven speculation filled weeks have passed since Rashford played for the last time for his boys' club during the Europa League trip to Viktoria Plzen – and he stays in the cold prior to the Deadline of Monday 11 p.m.
The English international last month revealed that he was “ready for a new challenge”, but few clubs offer an obvious landing site, thanks to his wages.
Rashford was omitted from the 21-man team of United for Thursday's Europa League victory at FCSB, despite the Forward training with his teammates on the eve of the competition.
Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim suggested last weekend after the 1-0 win in Fulham that he would rather have United's 63-year-old goalkeeper coach in his team than Rashford.
There were reports this week that Amorim and Rashford were no longer speaking conditions.
Rashford's preference is still to move to Barcelona – but they still have to make formal regulations to bring him on loan from Manchester United.
The Spanish giants struggle to create salary space as contract innovations increase their wage account, with margin players such as Ansu Fati and Andreas Christensen who do not want to leave the club in this window.
Sources in Spain say that Rashford, who has not played in 11 games since he has been left out of the Manchester derby, is willing to reduce his salary if that can make a deal happen.
Borussia Dortmund controlled with United about the conditions of a loan for Rashford earlier in the window, although the finances involved close a deal for the German club unlikely.
In the meantime, Fenerbahce Vice-President Acun Ilicali Sky Sports News has told that the club is not interested in signing Rashford, in contrast to reports.
Amorim has left the door open to Rashford to fight his way back to the first team that says United is “a better team with Rashford”, but he “must change” before he can force himself back in the first team.
Man Utd's tel Move is based on Rashford Leaving
Manchester United was able to move to Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich, as soon as they have completed a deal for Rashford to leave Old Trafford.
United has made their interest in a loan movement for Tel that is known at Bayern. He is one of a number of goals that the club looks at.
United has always been in a position in this window that he must facilitate a departure before he brings someone in.
It is thought that count is open before the move, after he has rejected the chance to go to Tottenham Hotspur.
United is aware that there are other clubs in the Premier League and Europe interested in Tel.
Merse: Rashford should move abroad – but he stays with Man Utd
Sky Sports' Paul Merson on the transfer show:
“Rashford has to go abroad – he needs a change. The problem is wherever he goes, he has to take his head with him.
“People think he can go to Italy, Spain or Barcelona – although it is another club, he will still have to take his head with him.
“And that is the problem: he doesn't run around. If your manager tells you that you are not walking around, there is nothing worse than that. That's the worst.
“So that's what he should understand. I am not a man Utd fan, but they are still one of the biggest clubs in the world. Wherever he goes, he will downy.
“I think the next Rashford match at Man Utd will be. I just don't see who takes him and it's just his big wages. You don't buy someone in shape, goals scores on the left, right and center. Come in and Touch the ground.
“Time is a healer. As soon as this transfer window is closed, he has to play if he stays. The manager is eventually told. If man Utd is 13th or 14th in the competition, he will have to play.”
'Rashford may want Barca – but he would regularly get football at Villa'
Sky Sports News' main reporter Kaveh Solhekol on the transfer show:
“Aston Villa wants to sign players in the coming days. They have lost Jhon Duran, who is on their way to Saudi Aarabia, and EMI Buendia has moved to Germany on loan. They have to bring in reinforcements.
“We talked about their options and players they have looked at in recent days – a new name is now Marcus Rashford. He is a player for which they can put in the next 72 hours.
“Unai Emery is a big fan of Rashford and everyone knows that Rashford is available on loan.
“I think he might want to go to Barcelona, but let's be realistic. He doesn't play for Manchester United, he really starts playing regularly for Barcelona when they have players such as Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha? Get that he wants?
“That leads to the question of whether he would be better off to go to something like Aston Villa, where I think he would get football regularly.”
Would Rashford be guaranteed to get a role of the first team at Villa?
Sky Sports' Patrick Rowe:
“Rashford has played his best football on the left, so this link comes in an interesting time for Villa and Rashford, since Jacob Ramsey seems to recapture his best form.
“The 23-year-old scored against West Ham and gave two assists against Celtic. If he maintained this run, there are no guarantees that Rashford would have the starting role he wishes in Villa.
“Versatility is seen high by Emery, so playing with Watkins in front or on the right, given the struggles of Leon Bailey, there are also possibilities.
“Finance and his role in the team are two important obstacles that should be impeded to make a deal possible. The other problem is which Rashford Villa would get.
“Emery has a track record to get the best out of players, so if he could get it close to the player we saw in 2022/23, who scored 17 goals in the Premier League, it would be a gamble It is worth taking for Villa.
“But as the Saga with Jhon Duran has shown, Emery has little to no patience for off-the-field antics.”
'Dortmund and Barcelona in Race to draw for Rashford'
Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth speaks at the transfer show:
“It will not be easy. Rashford continues to train with the Manchester United First team Squad.
“He has been heavily criticized by Ruben Amorim in recent weeks, but there is still no breakthrough with a club above a potential deal this month.
“We know so far in this window that there has been Saudi and Turkish interest, but they are excluded by Rashford.
“Borussia Dortmund keeps an eye on his situation, but his preference is Barcelona, so can they collect enough salary space to house Rashford?
“This time last year, Dortmund concluded a deal with United for Jadon Sancho and it was a stimulated deal, where the better Sancho did and Dortmund did the more money man utd got.
“So can they become creative with these clubs, or even Aston Villa, in the remaining three days of the transfer window to get Rashford a move from Old Trafford?”
Morrison: Rashford has the best job in the world
Sky Sports' Clinton Morrison on the transfer show:
“Man Utd is the largest football club in the world. When I was playing, you would walk the highway to draw for man utd. I don't understand if you are a player of that skill in such a club, why you are you Not running by walls.
“If I look at Rashford, he has the best job in the world. You ask someone and they would like to be a professional football player. Play with a smile on your face and enjoy.
“I don't see the Rashford who took over people and scored goals when he burst on stage.
“I don't think his husband Utd career is over. Go abroad for a few months, you get self -confidence, come back to Man Utd and be another player.
“But if my manager said they would rather choose the keeper coach who is 63, my head would roll away. I wouldn't like that.”
