Villa are eager to keep Rashford, but they're facing stiff competition from across Europe. The option isn't obligatory, so the race is on!
Chelsea are said to be keen, and they're not alone. Bayern Munich and PSG are also keeping a close eye on developments.
Rashford was a hero for Villa against PSG this week, inspiring his team to victory in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal. Though Villa lost on aggregate, Rashford's performance caught the eye of top clubs.
Barcelona are also in the mix, with it suggested that the £40m price tag could fit within their summer budget, despite their financial struggles.
