Barcelona leads La Liga by 11 points after a 2-0 win against Getafe, closing in on the title with five games remaining.
Rashford delivered a solid first half of the season, scoring ten goals, but has since managed just two more, falling short of expectations, especially in Raphinha's absence.
Barcelona has presented Andreas Christensen with a one-year renewal offer that includes a lower salary and high financial incentives based on the number of matches he plays.
