Marcus Rashford Available for £40m Transfer After Aston Villa Loan

Marcus Rashford is available for a £40 million transfer this summer following a loan spell at Aston Villa, where he scored four goals and provided six assists in 17 appearances. Although Villa have an option to buy him, there is no clause preventing other clubs from making a bid at the same price, and Rashford is clear he wants to join a Champions League club. Rashford earns around £315,000 to £365,000 per week and is reluctant to take a pay cut, which complicates potential moves; Villa currently cover about 75% of his wages during the loan. His relationship with Manchester United’s current manager Ruben Amorim appears strained, reducing the likelihood of his return to United, while Rashford has expressed reluctance to join a London club. Despite interest from teams like Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund, Rashford reportedly prefers to stay at Aston Villa, pending the club's final decisions influenced by their European competition ambitions and Rashford’s fitness recovery.
