Marcus Rashford is a transfer target for Barcelona as they plan a stunning summer swoop for the Manchester United starlet, according to reports.
With Luis Suarez approaching the twilight years of his career, the Nou Camp giants are planning for the future and are said to have Rashford on their striker shortlist.
According to Mundo Deportivo, who carry the story on Tuesday's front page, the England man is alongside Luka Jovic and Antoine Griezmann in the list of options.
Underneath the headline 'Rashford, on the agenda,' Mundo report that the 21-year-old is seen as a versatile option, but would be expensive to bring to Spain.
Suarez is still in fine form for Barca and has scored 23 goals this season, but the club are wary of his age - he is now 32 - and are succession planning.
Much has been written about Frankfurt striker Jovic over the past few months, with the Serbian being touted for a £43million move to Barca.
He is Europe's most in-form striker, and Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Chelsea have all been credited with interest in his services next season.

His contract ends in 2020 which means barca can get him for a low price( just like hazard and real madrid situation) but Im not sure he is a barca type of player. I dont want to see any waste of talent, so I hope barca choose carefully this time.

barca is really afraid that mbappe will come to madrid one day so they want a signing to start a new rivalry after ronaldo messi ... it will be mbappe rashford but barca is foolishly making insignificant signings to fill the space of neymar .... the only solution is to land neymar again . Just see the condition of coutinho , PL players will not come after watching his miserable condition . Barca is not for everyone , especially rashford !! are you out of your mind he will become a united legend with sancho lingard ..... Utterly rubbish act by barca !! Mbappe is way better than rashford , no comparison needed ....

Barcelona want a No.9 to replace Suarez, though Rashford can play as a central striker, but I don't think, that can be his permanent position, his main strength is speed & skills, & playing as a No.9, i'm not sure, wether, he would be able to do justice to the expectations, just like the way, we signed Coutinho for the midfield position, & now we play him everywhere apart from Midfield, I feel the same should not happen with Rashford, the question is does Valverde really see a No.9 in Rashford? Or else it's useless because he would be benched.
