Barcelona remain interested in another deal for Marcus Rashford regardless of the imminent signing of Anthony Gordon - but the Spanish club are targeting Julian Alvarez next.
There has been widespread speculation that Gordon's £69.3m deal is instead of signing Rashford - but Sky Sports News understands that is not the case and every option is still on the table.
Barcelona have until June 15 to activate their £26m (€30m) option to buy Rashford, although Sky Sports News has reported before that the Spanish club have an interest in another loan arrangement.
This is in part due to Manchester United's continued insistence that they are not interested in renegotiating the option fee to sell the England forward.
However, Sky Sports News expects Barcelona to make a big-money move for Atletico Madrid striker Alvarez once they seal the signing of Gordon this week, pending a medical.
As we previously reported, Alvarez is keen on a move to Barca but he is valued by Atletico as high as £130m (€150m). Ruben Uria, a prominent Atletico journalist in Madrid, has reported Barca have already informally offered £61m (€70m) plus Ferran Torres - but Atletico said no.
Barcelona have more money this summer after winning LaLiga - and their priority for that pot is to sign a winger, striker and centre-back. An official, money-only bid is anticipated soon for Alvarez so, while signing Gordon changes nothing for Rashford, what a successful Alvarez mission means for him remains to be seen.
Rashford notched an impressive 28 goal contributions across all competitions for Barcelona as they reclaimed the title from Real Madrid.
If an agreement is not reached between Barcelona and United, there is confidence at United that Rashford could be sold for a higher fee elsewhere - especially if he impresses in this summer's World Cup for England side, where he will contend with Gordon for a place on the left wing.
If an agreement for Rashford's departure is not agreed after the World Cup, Rashford will return to Carrington. But expectations are that we have still seen the last of Rashford in a Manchester United shirt.
Sources have told Sky Sports News that both the player, his representatives and the club will continue to work on securing him a permanent move away from Old Trafford.

useless Barcelona can't remove €30m to sign a player that contribute 28 goals to ur team last season I blame rashford running after Barcelona as if they is no other team
The worst part is Rashford made 2 loan spells back to back season now and still can't reduce his salary at that age

Tell me if this is not madness,you paying over 70 m,for Gorden who never played for you ,and asking United to further reduce 26m price for World Cup bound Rashford who contributed to 28 goals for you last season. United should let Barca know, they may be hungry but not starving. Bring back Rashford home ,then have discussion with Real.
Gordon is going to the WC as well

These Man U fans are f**king senseless, they want another club to trigger his buyout clause yet their team still making him unwanted. For your information both barca and Man U are reputable clubs, they know exactly what is for good for the benefit of their team and what they feel is not right from sporting, finances and management team. Plus if the guy signing is market opportunity, plenty will be ready to crave for his signing but am afraid no european club can pay him that huge salary, €18m annually fucking stupid decision for this average lad at 28 to 29 yrs next season. Tell them he is not harry kane, mbaffe or haaland, even him define his status by saying “he’s not magician”

Sabi he’s your academy player and he’s one of ur best players growing up and am sure he has more goals for your useless team than he did at Barca so why are you loaning him out like a piece of trash?
