– Barcelona are preparing to make a move for Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, iNews reports. The 27-year-old is currently enjoying a welcome return to form on loan at Aston Villa, where he has four goal involvements in 10 Premier League games. Rashford reportedly has his heart set on a move to Catalonia, although the Spanish club are currently unwilling to pay the £40 million fee that may be required to prize him away from Old Trafford. Villa have an option to sign the England international for the same fee at the end of his loan spell in June.

Villa boss Unai Emery does not wish to part ways with Rogers, although PSR concerns could force the club’s hand if Chelsea lodge a sizable bid. The talented and versatile attacker is under contract at Villa Park until June 2030.
