Barcelona make fresh Marcus Rashford transfer decision

Barcelona remain determined to sign Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford permanently this summer, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The Catalan giants have been busy over the last few days. They have already reached an agreement with Newcastle United for winger Anthony Gordon, and he is expected to join them soon.

The Blaugrana are also working on the transfer of Atletico striker Julian Alvarez, and they are optimistic of bringing him to the Camp Nou before he reports for the World Cup with Argentina.

Despite their pursuit of two high-profile stars, Barcelona have still not ruled out the prospect of keeping Rashford after his season-long loan from United.

The Blaugrana have an option to buy him for £26 million, and they could be prepared to trigger the clause before it formally expires in the middle of June.

It was previously reported that they could discuss fresh payment terms with United, but the Red Devils are quite clear that there is no room for negotiations.
