Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has emerged as a serious target for Barcelona, with the Spanish giants reportedly keen to bolster their attacking options. The persistent speculation—backed by seven separate sources over the past eight days—suggests this could represent a significant move, as the English winger would be stepping down from the Premier League to La Liga, though joining one of Europe's most prestigious clubs. With fresh reports surfacing just four days ago, this rumour shows little sign of cooling and warrants close monitoring as the transfer window progresses.

Tottenham ready Marcus Rashford transfer offer as club plot £170m spending spree - The Mirror

Rashford has seen his dream move to Barcelona put in serious doubt by the club's decision to spend £69m on his England team-mate Anthony Gordon and may be forced to consider alternatives. There appears very little chance of Rashford continuing his career at Manchester United after his successful loan spell with Barca. The i reports that the north London side are ready to test United's resolve with an offer for Rashford. Roberto De Zerbi is keen to sign Marcus Rashford(Image: Visionhaus/Getty Images) While Rashford knows he will have to take a major pay cut on his £315,000-a-week United wages, there are still several factors holding back a deal. Bayern were beating to the signing of Gordon by Barcelona, so are in the market for a left-sided attacker, but are reportedly prioritising a move for PSV's Ismael Saibari. United will be hoping he can add to his strike against Croatia in order to drum up more transfer interest.

Tottenham's dream XI with Marcus Rashford and Sandro Tonali after £192m transfer spree - The Mirror

Tottenham's dream XI with Marcus Rashford and Sandro Tonali after £192m transfer spree - The Mirror Tottenham Hotspur are targeting Newcastle United star Sandro Tonali(Image: Stu Forster/Getty Images) However, Spurs' recruitment drive is far from over as the club had an £80m offer rejected for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali and have also been linked with England forward Marcus Rashford. The 29-year-old has been linked with a move back to Italy, though given the overhauls to other areas of the squad, De Zerbi might choose to retain Vicario to prevent wholesale changes to yet another part of his team. ChronicleLive reported that Spurs' £80m bid was turned down as Newcastle value the midfielder at around £100m. Should Tottenham meet Newcastle's asking price and ward off rival clubs for Tonali, he could partner Conor Gallagher in the centre of midfield. Tottenham have been linked with a move for Marcus Rashford(Image: Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images) Marcus Rashford would represent another high-profile signing for Spurs, following his impressive loan spell at Barcelona. The i paper reports that Spurs are reluctant to meet a £40m valuation for the Manchester United forward, who reportedly favours a switch overseas, but securing a deal for the 28-year-old would further illustrate De Zerbi's ambitions. In summary, Van Hecke's £52m transfer should strengthen Spurs' defensive line and he is already familiar with De Zerbi's playing philosophy.

Liverpool transfer news recap: Deals agreed for Iraola favourites, Bouaddi link, Diomande latest - Liverpool Echo

Liverpool transfer news recap: Deals agreed for Iraola favourites, Bouaddi link, Diomande latest - Liverpool Echo Liverpool seem to be in the driving seat for RB Leipzig attacker Yan Diomande after already submitting an offer for the player, with a follow-up bid widely expected. Meanwhile, the likes of Curtis Jones and Federico Chiesa are being tipped for moves away, which could help raise some valuable funds. Bournemouth duo Tommy Elphick and Shaun Cooper have agreed deals to end their contracts with the South Coast club. Ex-Liverpool full-back Glen Johnson, who joined the Reds on this day in 2009 from Portsmouth for £17.5m, exclusively opened up on the move to the ECHO. “If a club like Liverpool comes knocking, you obviously immediately have an eye on it and an interest,” Johnson said. While it's a transfer firmly in the realms of fantasy - Reds fans would hope - former United winger Antonio Valencia believes his old club should swoop for the star, who has struggled since joining Madrid from Liverpool in the summer of 2025. According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool are said to have a "firm" interest in signing Lille and Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi. The report states that Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid are all interested in signing Bouaddi. A good deal of that was likely due to the fact a scapegoat was needed to explain Real's struggles under Xabi Alonso and then Alvaro Arbeloa.

Man Utd and Marcus Rashford 'set for talks' very soon as new Barcelona proposal emerges - The Mirror

Manchester United are poised to restart talks with Barcelona over Marcus Rashford as soon as next week, with the Spanish giants eager to arrange another loan switch. Rashford, 28, joined Barca on loan from United last summer and has registered 14 goals and 14 assists in 48 appearances across all competitions. Barcelona have stalled on activating the permanent clause in Rashford's loan deal and, according to The Independent, are poised to renegotiate the terms owing to their tight finances. However, Mirror Sport understands United have no desire to sanction another loan, with the club eager to strip Rashford's considerable wages from their books. United are expected to rebuff Barcelona's efforts to extend the loan and remain firm on the agreed transfer fee - meaning Hansi Flick's side must pay £26m or risk losing the forward altogether. Barca are actively searching for a new left winger and have pinpointed several targets alongside Rashford, with club director Deco and manager Flick reportedly not fully sold on the England international and weighing up their alternatives. Mirror Sport has previously reported that United would be optimistic about commanding a fee in the region of £50m for the academy product. Rashford concluded last season on loan at Aston Villa and was compelled to train separately from the first‐team squad in the summer before his Barcelona switch.
