The striker (valued at £35m on the transfer market) is currently spending the final weeks of his loan spell at Barcelona, with BBC Sport confirming that Barcelona will activate his £26m release clause before June 15 after the loan period ends.

What to say about Marcus Rashford?
However, while United are trying to make it as simple as possible for the deal to be completed at the end of the season, Barcelona are thought to be trying to get around the terms.
Reports suggest the Catalan giants would rather loan Rashford out again in 2026/2027 or pay a lower fee, although United have completely rejected both options.
That’s why there has been speculation in recent weeks about a return to the M16 for the 28-year-old, who is under contract until 2028.
