According to Football Insider, the Ligue 1 champions are eager to acquire Marcus Rashford, currently on loan at Barcelona and under contract with Manchester United. To persuade MU, PSG are willing to include Bradley Barcola in a swap deal. The French club believes that including the French international in the deal will be key to breaking the deadlock.
