"Well, the interesting news and development on that story is that PSG are claiming to be coming in here, and there could be some sort of player swap deal with Bradley Barcola, which makes sense, I think, for United. He's obviously a lot younger, was he? About 23, I think. And if they were to get Rashford and a player swap, that would, I think, suit United more than releasing him at the pretty low level, I think, that Barcelona had got."
"which is going to be about 30 million from memory. Now, the player's point of view, I think Rashford would much prefer to stay at Barca. I think he's happy, but PSG is not exactly the worst option. And I think he could be spoilt for choice there. And I think there could be a bidding war in terms of least wages being offered to Rashford."
Manchester United aim to finalise Marcus Rashford's permanent departure next summer. Barcelona currently look like the leading suitors with an option to buy embedded in the loan, but financial constraints and alternative targets could prevent the fee being paid. Paris Saint-Germain have also expressed interest and could negotiate a swap that sends Bradley Barcola to Old Trafford as part of an agreement for Rashford. Barcola would offer youth and attacking reinforcement, while Rashford reportedly prefers Barcelona but could consider PSG. Any move could spark competition over wages and influence United's attacking recruitment plans.
