PSG eyeing Barcelona star with uncertain future this summer

Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have a number of players in common over the years, although of late, there is little doubt that the flow has been towards Paris rather than Catalonia. The French giants now have their eye on another forward performing at Barcelona.

So far this season he has seven goals and 11 assists in 24 appearances, mostly from the left wing. It averages out as a goal contribution every 87 minutes for Rashford.
