Rashford has been heavily linked with a move away from Manchester United after a frustrating first half of the season at Old Trafford.
The England international indicated in an interview at the end of 2024 that he was looking for a new challenge with Barcelona which would be one of the clubs he would like to join.
Competing offers are expected to arrive from Serie A, and United are unsure of their intentions regarding the 27-year-old as Barcelona plot their next move in the saga.
Marcus Rashford at Barça?
According to the latest information from transfer expert Matteo Moretto, the first contacts have already been made with Barcelona, but no discussions with United have started.
The Red Devils are not in favor of a January sale, with a loan until the end of the season plus a non-compulsory purchase clause offering more flexibility, and Barcelona will seek support over Rashford’s salary payments.
