Barcelona's intention to sign Rashford has been confirmed! The details of Villa's buyout clause have been revealed, and the players have the right to decide

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that La Liga leaders Barcelona have substantial interest in signing Marcus Rashford in the summer window and discussions have already been held internally. However, the 27-year-old Manchester United star has a lot of power to decide his next home.

The Manchester Evening News reported that Barcelona considered a loan move for Marcus Rashford in January, but at the time they concluded that a permanent transfer was not feasible and that the loan could not pay his wages. Coach La eventually went to Aston Villa, who paid 70 per cent of his £325,000 weekly salary.

At Villa Park, Marcus Rashford gradually regained his form, but unfortunately was reimbursed early at the end of the season due to injury. Villa have a £40 million option to buy the England international, however, it is a two-way option, meaning that not only will Villa want to sign him, but Rashford will also agree to a permanent transfer.

Boss Unai Emery is believed to be keen to buy Marcus Rashford if Villa qualify for next season's Champions League, otherwise the deal could be difficult to get the deal done financially. Similarly, Marcus Rashford is only believed to be interested in leaving Manchester United to join a Champions League side.

That said, Marcus Rashford could return to Manchester United in the summer window rather than stay at Villa. Once that happens, Romano says Barcelona will consider making a move. Fabrizio Romano said: "Barcelona do see Marcus as an option in the summer window and the club's management believe Rashford could enter the transfer market this summer."

Fabrizio Romano added: "They think Marcus Rashford is a good option for Barça, he can play as a number nine and as a winger, so he can strengthen his options in several positions. Marcus Rashford is a player that Barca admire, and they already wanted him in January but couldn't do it because Ansu Fati didn't leave at the time, so FFP's financial fair play rules didn't allow the deal to be manipulated. But Marcus Rashford is still on Barca's list, so if he doesn't go to Villa, let's see what happens after that.'

From Manchester United's point of view, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ruben Amorim will also have to wait for an agreement between Villa and Marcus Rashford before discussing future replacement arrangements for the 27-year-old. Marcus Rashford himself is believed to be eager to join Barca, but to complete the transfer, it may be necessary for the Red Devils to cut prices and pull a pay cut.

There are also a number of outrageous transfer rumours regarding Manchester United, such as Italy's Roma Sport, who claim that Manchester United intend to buy Newcastle United's Tonali for £85 million. According to the Italian media, Manchester United and Manchester City are interested in him, Tonali publicly said: "I don't bother it, it was the same last season. I don't use my phone much, especially social media. I have an account, but I only use it after the game, to talk about the game, not transfer rumors. Mobile phones are used to communicate with family."

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has also dismissed rumours of a move to the Saudi Arabian Pro League, and he is ready to stay at Old Trafford to prove to Amorim and fans that he is the team's long-term first-choice goalkeeper. The 29-year-old has made a number of mistakes since joining Manchester United for €50 million, but he has no intention of leaving. The source stressed: "Andre [Onana]'s plan is to stay and he wants to try to get Manchester United back where the club should be. His only focus is on Manchester United and nothing else. He is a confident man who wants to prove the skeptics wrong. He knows he's made a mistake, but he thinks slapping outsiders in the face is a challenge he wants to accept."

Recently, Manchester United have been revealed to be interested in bringing in Torino Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. The 28-year-old Serbian international signed for the Red Devils at the age of 17 but was unable to obtain a labour certificate and eventually had to leave. This season, he has kept 10 clean sheets for Torino and his penalty is €20 million.
