- Juventus enquire about Rashford amid Barcelona interest
- Rashford training alone as United push for summer exit
- Rashford wants Champions League football
Juventus have begun exploring a move for Rashford, with Gianluca Di Marzio reporting that the Bianconeri made enquiries about the player this week. Barcelona remain interested but have not yet made a formal approach, despite the 27-year-old expressing his desire to join the Catalan club. Rashford has returned to Carrington but is training separately from the Red Devils’ first team.
The England international fell down the pecking order at United following his fallout with Ruben Amorim and spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, scoring twice and assisting three times in ten Premier League appearances. Rashford is one of five players deemed available for transfer as the Red Devils aim to reduce their wage bill. Still under contract until 2028 on £300,000 per week, he remains a high-cost asset with limited takers.
Barcelona have long been Rashford’s dream destination, but financial restraints and strategic priorities have delayed any concrete move. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho is reportedly pushing for a reunion, with the Turkish club willing to match United’s £40 million ($53.5m) asking price. Rashford’s camp have reportedly made it clear that he wants Champions League football and has no interest in returning to Aston Villa or being part of a swap deal.
Juventus must now assess whether they can fund a deal that meets Rashford’s wage demands, with a loan-plus-buy option. Barcelona could still step in, but time is running out to structure an acceptable package. With United open to offers, the next few weeks may determine whether Rashford revives his career in Serie A, La Liga, or beyond.
