Marcus Rashford is enthusiastic about Barcelona after he has been given permission to report to Manchester United for the season, but the La Liga Giants made it clear that he was not their first choice
Barcelona is an interest in Marcus Rashford, but it has been suggested that the Manchester United star is not at the top of the Summer Wishlist of the Catalan Giants.
On Friday it was confirmed that Rashford, 27, does not have to return to the Carrington base of United for the start of the preseason on Monday, so that he can protect a moving of the club without being re-integrated into the plans of Ruben Amorim.
And United has already taken over the number 10 shirt from Rashford and gave it to the new signing Matheus Cunha, who has arrived from Wolves for £ 62.5 million.
Bayern Munich also looks at a move for Rashford, who is open to play abroad, but is in favor of a switch to Barcelona. Reports earlier this week said Rashford made contact with Barcelona, after their £ 58 million deal to sign Nico Williams, collapsed on spectacular fashion.
Rashford is said to have indicated the willingness to cut his salary to help secure a move to the Nou camp. But Barca, according to Mundo Deportivo, see him as a Plan B instead of a top goal.
Williams, 22, was in conversation to become a member of Barca, but on Friday it was announced that he had signed a new long-term agreement with Athletic Club with a release clause of approximately £ 80 million. Arsenal had also looked at the winger that was known when Spain won the European championship last summer and beat England in the final.
Aston Villa, for whom Rashford was shining in parts while he was on loan for the second half of last season, decided to record an option to make his switch permanent.
In addition to Rashford, Manchester United has given permission for four other players not to return for training for the season on Monday while they are looking for the movements.
Alejandro Garnacho was reportedly told that he could find a new club after ROW about benched for the last defeat of the Europa League of May against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao.
Chelsea has rejected the chance to sign Jadon Sancho for £ 5 million at the end of his mediocre loan movement last season and was recently connected to a switch to Juventus.
Antony spent the second half of last season on loan at Real Betis and wanted to make Deal permanent, but financial obstacles have it complicated, while on the left Tyrell Malacia in PSV Eindhoven was for the second part of last season, making 12 performances in all competitions.
United remains enthusiastic about a step for Bryan Mbeumo, but they must not yet meet the asking price of Brentford, who is said to be north of £ 65 million.
