Marcus Rashford: Barcelona’s £40 million target spotted with mystery woman on summer vacation amid uncertain future
Marcus Rashford has been spotted enjoying a luxurious holiday in Saint-Tropez.
Photographs obtained by Daily Mail show Rashford alongside a mystery blonde companion, sparking widespread speculation about his personal life and future.
According to the publication, the the 27-year-old Manchester United forward was seen sporting a £2,690 Louis Vuitton two-piece set, two luxury watches—an estimated £295,895 Patek Philippe Aquanaut on his left wrist and a £40,000 Rolex on his right—and the highly coveted Ben & Jerry’s x Dunk Low SB trainers, valued at over £3,000.
The total cost of his ensemble is estimated at £340,000.
Marcus Rashford’s dating history
Despite his lavish appearance, Rashford appeared relaxed and engaged in leisure activities, including jet skiing.
Rashford was last linked to former Love Island star Grace Jackson.
Before then, the Three Lions forward reportedly had a fling with American influencer Courtney Caldwell, after the pair were spotted together in Maimi.
Rashford’s last-known relationship was with Lucia Loi, before the pair broke up in 2023.
This break comes after a tumultuous period in his professional life, including a strained relationship with Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim and a subsequent loan move to Aston Villa.
Rashford's form improved at Villa Park, scoring four goals in 17 appearances, but his future remains uncertain.
Barcelona's interest amid financial constraints
Barcelona has expressed interest in acquiring Rashford, with sporting director Deco acknowledging the club's admiration for the England international.
However, financial constraints pose a significant hurdle.
Rashford's high wages, reportedly exceeding £325,000 per week, make a move challenging for the cash-strapped Catalan club.
Deco emphasized that the club's immediate focus is on renewing contracts for existing players, with new signings considered secondary.
While Barcelona has not ruled out a move, any potential deal would require Rashford to substantially reduce his wage demands.
Manchester United is reportedly willing to let Rashford go for less than €40 million, but his substantial salary remains a significant obstacle for potential suitors.
