Rashford made it clear: Barcelona first, Juventus can wait...

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford appears to have a singular focus for his summer transfer plans: a move to Barcelona. Despite recent reports linking him with a potential switch to Juventus, the England international's clear preference is for a Camp Nou destination, according to prominent transfer expert Matteo Moretto.

Gazzetta and Sky Sport Italia had indicated that Juventus made inquiries regarding the former Aston Villa loanee. However, Moretto has firmly stated that Barcelona remains Rashford's "absolute priority" this summer. On his latest YouTube channel update, the Italian transfer expert reiterated that as long as there's a chance to sign for Barcelona, Rashford will put all other options, including a potential Serie A move, on hold.

Barcelona is reportedly keen on acquiring the 27-year-old. Their new coach, Hansi Flick, is said to be pushing hard for Rashford's signature, valuing his versatility and ability to cover multiple attacking roles up front. This strong interest from the Catalan giants is clearly a major factor influencing Rashford's decision.

While Barcelona works "relentlessly" on a deal, they remain the striker's primary option. Moretto anticipates "more developments" in the coming days regarding this high-profile transfer saga. For now, a move to Juventus and Serie A is evidently not on Rashford's immediate radar.

Interestingly, while the Bianconeri's pursuit of Rashford seems to be on hold, they are reportedly in advanced talks to sign his Manchester United teammate, Jadon Sancho. Reports suggest that Sancho's agent has already arrived in Turin to continue negotiations with the Old Lady, indicating a potential reunion for the two English attackers, albeit in different clubs should Rashford's Barcelona dream materialize.
