MARCUS RASHFORD will be up for grabs for £40million this summer.
Aston Villa will have the option to buy the Manchester United ace after he spent the last half of the season on loan with them.
However, Unai Emery’s side do not have the first option on the 27-year-old and other clubs can sign him for the same fee in the close season.
Villa confirmed yesterday that Rashford is not fit to face Tottenham, meaning he has played his last game for them.
That’s because their final game of the season next Sunday is against his parent club at Old Trafford when he would be ineligible.
As things stand he is due to return to Carrington to begin pre season training in early July – but it seems unlikely he will play for his boyhood club again while Ruben Amorim remains in charge.
The challenge will be to find a club which is willing to pay Rashford’s £315,000 a week wages as he does not want to take a pay cut.
Villa are believed to be covering around 75% of that while he is on loan with them with United making up the shortfall.
They may have to enter into a similar arrangement if they want to get him off the books permanently this summer.
Another loan deal is an option if a permanent move cannot be found and Rashford is clear he wants to join a Champions League club.
He won an England recall on the back of his form with Villa – where he scored four goals and made six assists in his 18 appearances.
However he has missed the past few weeks with a hamstring injury which now looks certain to end his domestic season.
