Juventus is accelerating strongly in the race to win the signature of Marcus Rashford, turning the disgraced star of Man United into the number one transfer target this summer.
Marcus Rashford became the top target of Juventus
Marcus Rashford spent the second half last season wearing Aston Villa in the form of loan. The active performance at Villa, with 2 goals after 10 matches in the Premier League, helped Rashford somehow regain confidence and performance. However, his future at Old Trafford seems to have closed. Man United is said to be ready to sell a star born in 1997 for about 40 million pounds.
However, the destination that Rashford wants is not Juventus but Barcelona. He once openly admired the prodigy Lamine Yamal and expressed his desire to stand side by side with this young player. And it seems that dream is coming closer than ever.

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, coach Hansi Flick directly proposed to the Barcelona leadership to recruit Rashford, through the loan contract with the terms of purchase in the summer next year. This move takes place in the context that Barcelona has lost the number one target Nico Williams and was ignored by Liverpool when asked to buy Luis Diaz.
On the Juventus side, the “old lady” once pursued another Man United star Jadon Sancho, but the deal fell into a standstill due to the high salary requirement from the British player. Ironically, Rashford even has a bigger salary: £ 300,000 per week. This is clearly a significant barrier for any team to pursue him.
Even so, Barcelona proved more flexible. According to the Daily Mail, the Catalunya Club is ready to borrow Rashford and negotiate for Man United to carry a part of the salary in the beginning. A reasonable solution in the financial context of Barca is tight but still aspires to strengthen the attack.
