Four clubs register interest in signing Marcus Rashford on a permanent deal after incredible PSG performance

Marcus Rashford's future is up in the air but the better he plays, the more potential buyers emerge among the top European clubs.

Manchester United allowed Rashford to leave on loan in January and he's gradually found his feet with a string of impressive performances for Aston Villa in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.

The England forward's impact has helped Unai Emery's Villa to stay in touch with the top five in the Premier League and his goals in the FA Cup set up a semi-final against Crystal Palace at Wembley.

Villa were eliminated from the Champions League this week but defeated PSG in the second leg at Villa Park despite going 2-0 down on the night.

Rashford was instrumental in the Villans' second-half resurgence and his performance has calcified interest from some of Europe's biggest names.

It's understood that Villa have an option to sign Rashford permanently but no deal has yet been agreed.

With Rashford looking a lot like his old self at Villa Park on Wednesday, the Express reports that four of Man Utd's familiar foes have identified him as a potential target ahead of the summer transfer window.

PSG themselves were linked with a loan move for Rashford before he joined Villa in January. Barcelona were also reported to be considering an approach.

Both remain keen and could challenge Villa for Rashford's signature, according to the Express.

"Rashford’s reported priority was a move to Barca," reports Fraser Watson.

"Although transfer funds are currently an issue for Hansi Flick, a £40m fee would signify an affordable option for a world-class player."

The quartet of interested parties is completed by another pair of Champions League winners.

Bayern Munich already have the English duo of Harry Kane and Eric Dier in their ranks but are preparing to replace Thomas Muller after 25 years at the club.

Premier League rivals Chelsea could opt for Rashford over loanee Jadon Sancho in the summer.

"Rashford could now signify a much more productive option as Enzo Maresca seeks a wide forward," according to Watson.

The on-loan forward has scored three goals and claimed six assists in all competitions since joining Villa.
