Barcelona are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford but only on loan this summer, as they continue their search for attacking reinforcements ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
While Athletic Club’s Nico Williams remains their top target, the Catalan giants have started to seriously consider Rashford as another attacking option, according to talkSPORT.
Rashford himself would be very open to the move. The England international is believed to favour a switch to the Camp Nou and is willing to adapt his game to suit the tactical setup of manager Hansi Flick.

Rashford is reportedly happy to operate in a more central role if required, giving Barcelona an additional option through the middle to ease the burden on Robert Lewandowski.
The 27-year-old endured a challenging 2024/25 season, falling out of favour under Man United boss Ruben Amorim.
Despite showing flashes of his quality during a loan stint at Aston Villa, where he managed a handful of goals and assists, Rashford’s long-term future at Old Trafford now appears to be all but over.
United, however, are reportedly seeking a transfer fee in the region of £40 million for Rashford, complicating any potential loan arrangement.
