Transfer: Arsenal, Chelsea stance on signing Marcus Rashford revealed
Barcelona’s reported £26 million move for Marcus Rashford is in doubt, opening the door for Arsenal and Chelsea, sources said.
Arsenal and Chelsea are monitoring Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford as his Barcelona transfer faces uncertainty following the Catalan club's £70 million acquisition of Anthony Gordon.
Barcelona officials have consistently lauded Rashford, indicating interest in activating a clause to sign him permanently for approximately £26 million after his successful loan spell.
Gunners legend Lee Dixon questioned whether Mikel Arteta should sign him, saying, 'I'm not sure you can trust him,' while Ally McCoist insisted Rashford would 'thrive' at Arsenal.
Rashford reportedly has no interest in Newcastle United or Tottenham Hotspur; United are unwilling to sell within England, though Bayern Munich and Real Madrid show interest.
Barcelona has until the middle of this month to exercise their purchase clause before it expires, while Rashford prepares for the FIFA World Cup with Thomas Tuchel's England squad.
