Barcelona’s purchase option for Marcus Rashford revealed as Man Utd star set to complete transfer

Marcus Rashford is closing in on a move to Barcelona and some details of the proposed transfer are now starting to emerge.

The Manchester United forward will move on a season-long loan with an option to buy set at around €35 million, according to Marca.

Rashford will move after spending the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa. The Premier League side had an option to buy of €40m but opted not to take it up.
