Barcelona are reluctant to pay the 30 million euro fee needed to sign Marcus Rashford permanently from Manchester United. Aston Villa are also aware of the situation and remain interested in the forward if Barcelona decide not to complete the deal.
Rashford’s future depends on whether Barcelona choose to convert the loan into a permanent move. Their hesitation opens the door for Aston Villa, who are tracking the situation as Manchester United wait for a clearer transfer decision.
