Barcelona, Real Madrid, and PSG lock horns for Manchester United winger

The shocking revelation made by Fabrizio Romano regarding Marcus Rashford has put some of the top European teams on high alert, and as quoted by Fichajes, Barcelona are one of them.

After a series of dreadful performances coupled with his role being limited to the bench, Rashford has now decided to consider his Manchester United future, especially after he failed to get a place in the starting XI against Manchester City.

As Romano says, the 24-year-old is concerned about his lack of playing time and is currently demanding clarity from the team. It’s important to note that his current contract expires in 2023, but Man United do have an option to extend for another season.

Now, although both Manchester United and Rashford are in no rush to make a decision, interest from some of the top teams may force the parties to act on it and fast. 

To add fuel to the fire, as many as three teams, including Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, are ready to pounce on the given opportunity.

Rashford has been on Madrid’s wishlist for a long time. However, if Man United are to even consider listening to an offer, an extravagance fee would be an obvious demand, and Madrid might as well spend that capital for someone like Kylian Mbappe.

At Parc des Princes, the PSG officials see Rashford as an ideal replacement for Real Madrid-bound Mbappe. In fact, the team from the French capital listed Rashford as one of their many targets last summer if Mbappe had moved.

As of today, though, there has been no official contact as it is said the player will take time to decide his next step.

Finally, at Barcelona, everything hangs on what happens with Ousmane Dembele. If the young Frenchman, whose contract runs out at the end of the season, leaves, Rashford would be Xavi’s first choice to take up the position.

However, one can rightly expect the Dembele negotiation to go right down to the wire, meaning that the chances of Rashford donning a Barcelona shirt are considerably less than that of their competitors.
