The Rashford to Barcelona merry-go-round is spinning once again, with La Liga giants set to make their move if Raphinha, 29, takes off from the Camp Nou. A reported offer from Saudi Arabia for the Brazilian winger could be the catalyst for a fresh bid for Manchester United's England starlet, Marcus Rashford, who's been touted as a potential Barcelona target for seasons.
Rashford, 28, has long been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with the Catalan club frequently mentioned as his next destination. With Raphinha potentially departing, it could free up both a squad place and a significant transfer kitty at the Camp Nou – perfect timing for a fresh bid for the English forward.
But Rashford's future is far from the only transfer puzzle Manchester United are trying to solve this summer. The Red Devils' pursuit of West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville, 24, has just got a whole lot more complicated – Paris St-Germain have thrown their hat into the ring, and it looks like a bidding war is brewing for the highly-rated Dutchman.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are making it clear that they won't be selling Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko, 23, this summer. Despite reported interest from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, the club intends to retain the young forward who joined from RB Leipzig last season.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Brighton's Swedish midfielder Yasin Ayari, 22, is on the move radar – with Newcastle United reportedly showing serious interest. The Seagulls are weighing up whether to offer him a new contract or let him leave amidst the growing interest from St James' Park.
And it's not just the Premier League transfer market that's hotting up – Italian giants Juventus have compiled a list of summer targets, including Aston Villa's Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, 33, and former Manchester City defender John Stones, 32, who recently became a free agent. Leeds United are also making waves in the transfer market with an opening bid of approximately £20m for Southampton's Northern Ireland midfielder Shea Charles, 22.
