Arsenal, Bayern Munich monitoring on-loan Barcelona star with uncertain future

Marcus Rashford finds himself in a difficult situation with regard to his continuity at FC Barcelona beyond the current season.

Currently on loan at the Catalan club from Manchester United, Rashford’s deal contains a €30 million purchase option. At one point this season, it appeared a certainty that Barça would activate that clause and retain him permanently.

However, his dip in form and reduced role in the team, coupled with his high salary, have made the club reconsider their position.

As such, they are pushing for an extension of a loan deal – an option that Manchester United are refusing to consider, leading to a standoff.

Arsenal, Bayern Munich keeping an eye on Rashford situation

Even as Barcelona continue to haggle with Manchester United over Rashford, the Daily Mail reports that Arsenal and Bayern Munich are closely monitoring his situation.

Even though he has experienced a decline in the second half of the season, the 28-year-old Englishman has posted impressive numbers during his loan stint at Barça.
