Marcus Rashford's proposed move to Barcelona might not be dead after all, which will either excite or exhaust you depending on how long you've been following this particular saga. The deal looked like it had collapsed after Barcelona struggled to get their finances in order, but reports now suggest there could still be a path to making it happen. As a United fan, it's a strange one to watch. Rashford is clearly a talented player who has had a tough couple of seasons at Old Trafford, and if a fresh start in Spain is what he needs then fair enough. Nobody wants to see a player rot. The tricky part is that Barcelona have a well-documented habit of agreeing deals they can't quite afford, so until anyone actually signs anything, this one stays firmly in the rumour pile.
Elsewhere, Paris St-Germain have apparently thrown their hat into the ring for Crysencio Summerville, the Leeds United winger who was genuinely one of the best players in the Championship last season. PSG joining the chase tells you everything about how highly rated he is right now. Leeds will be hoping to cash in while the interest is hot, though losing him would be a real blow to their promotion ambitions. It's the classic Championship problem — do well, watch your best players get poached, start again. Summerville is quick, direct and full of tricks, and he would not look out of place in a number of top European squads.
Finally, Manchester United have made it clear they have no intention of selling Benjamin Sesko this summer. That is actually good news for once from Old Trafford, because Sesko is exactly the type of forward United need. He is big, powerful, has a decent touch for his size and knows where the goal is. Holding onto him rather than cashing in shows at least some ambition in the transfer window, which United fans will take after some of the business in recent years.
So Barcelona might get Rashford, PSG might get Summerville, and United are keeping Sesko. Monday gossip doing its thing.
