Man Utd and England forward Marcus Rashford is reportedly attracting interest from top clubs across Europe with his contract set to expire in 2023.

After a difficult spell for club and country, the 25-year-old is back enjoying his football this season.

He hadn’t played for England after missing a penalty in the Three Lions’ shootout defeat to Italy in the European Championships final last year.

However, a strong start to 2022-23 with Man Utd saw him make the 26-man squad for the World Cup in Qatar.

In his first England appearance since that fateful day against the Italians at Wembley, Rashford scored within a minute of coming off the bench in his side’s 6-2 win over Iran.

Furthermore, Lionel Messi is also out of contract at the end of 22-23, which the report perhaps forgets when it says ‘PSG wants a new attacker to rotate with Messi, [Kylian] Mbappe and Neymar’.

Next up is Barcelona.

The La Liga giants love a free transfer having signed the likes of Memphis Depay, Franck Kessie, and Andreas Christensen in recent summer windows.

Rashford’s ability to play in various positions is a huge bonus for Barcelona, who, like PSG, have always shown a level of interest in the England international, apparently.

Barca boss Xavi has apparently ‘fallen in love’ with the English forward.

The inevitable exit of Memphis next summer will create space for Rashford, who would compete for a starting berth with Ousmane Dembele and…
