Fabrizio Romano, a sports journalist, reports that Marcus Rashford, a forward for Manchester United, will be joining Aston Villa on loan with the possibility of a permanent move.
In a post shared on Sunday via X, Romano reported that Villa will cover over 70 percent of Rashford’s salary as part of the agreement, with a £40 million buy option included in the deal.
The England international is expected to undergo a medical today before finalizing the move.
Romano wrote: “Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa, here we go. Agreement in place on a loan deal with over 70% of his salary covered by Villa. A buy option clause worth £40m is also included in the contract, with a potential three-and-a-half-year deal to follow. Medical booked today.”
Meanwhile, West Ham United are making progress in negotiations to sign Brighton striker Evan Ferguson on a straight loan deal until June. Talks are ongoing, with final details yet to be agreed upon with the player’s representatives.
Elsewhere, Manchester United and Arsenal are in contact with Mathys Tel’s representatives as the Bayern Munich forward considers his future.
With just 36 hours remaining in the transfer window, Tel still has a strong chance of leaving the German club, with United pushing for a loan move and Arsenal making another approach.
In Serie A, Chelsea midfielder Cesare Casadei has completed a permanent move to Torino in a €15 million deal, while Nicolò Zaniolo has joined Fiorentina from Galatasaray after his loan spell at Atalanta was terminated.
Flamengo also approached Arsenal in an attempt to sign Jorginho immediately, but the Gunners rejected the request. The Brazilian club is now working on securing the midfielder on a free transfer for next season.
Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt have activated a €16 million buy option for Belgian defender Arthur Theate, who has been in impressive form and is attracting interest from several clubs ahead of the summer window.
With the deadline fast approaching, clubs across Europe are racing to finalize deals before the window shuts.
