Barcelona are currently in a precarious situation after the Nico Williams deal tragically fell through.
Since the failed Nico transfer, the Catalans have been trying to get hold of Luis Diaz, but the Liverpool forward’s deal looks tough right now.
That has led the focus back to Marcus Rashford, who is the third attacking target for Barcelona this summer.
Although Rashford is not the preferred choice, Barcelona may have no option but to attempt signing the Englishman, who is available in the market after returning to Manchester United.
According to Sky Sports, Barcelona are set to try again in their pursuit of Rashford this summer.
This comes on the back of earlier reports that suggested that the Catalans have ruled out signing the Englishman and are focusing on Luis Diaz.

But Sky Sports confirms that the Diaz deal looks difficult right now, which has prompted the club to reopen negotiations with Rashford.
The English international is coming on the back of a loan spell at Aston Villa, where he wasn’t fully able to showcase his attacking prowess.
Despite returning to Old Trafford, Rashford is expected to leave Manchester United this summer, with his current contract expiring in 2028.
Barcelona have been linked with a loan move for the English striker in the past, but it appears the contacts are still in nascent stages.
Therefore, it is too early to predict whether or not Barcelona can make a move for Rashford. But it is clear that the player himself is keen on the idea of playing for the Catalans next season.
