Instead, the Catalan club are believed to prefer another loan deal before considering a permanent transfer in 2027.

However, Manchester United are said to be pushing for a full sale and are unwilling to agree to another temporary arrangement. The club are reportedly open to selling Rashford to any side willing to meet their valuation.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Aston Villa have already emerged as potential contenders for the 28-year-old.

Villa boss Unai Emery previously worked with Rashford during a successful loan spell and remains an admirer of the attacker’s qualities.

Despite the growing interest, Marcus Rashford’s preference is reportedly clear. The winger is said to be fully focused on securing a long-term stay at Barcelona and is not considering alternative destinations.

TEAMtalk claims he would even be willing to lower his salary to remain at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid have also been linked with the forward, but sources close to Rashford insist his priority remains Barcelona, with no desire to return to Manchester United next season.
