Liverpool and Manchester City won't trigger Rashford's release clause

Liverpool and Manchester City both reportedly will not be able to activate Marcus Rashford’s £40m release clause this summer. Although Liverpool is looking to enhance its attacking lineup, sources indicate that Rashford is not a viable target for consideration. Manchester United has taken measures to prevent any attempts from rival clubs regarding Rashford, who has enjoyed a successful loan spell at Barcelona with 28 goal contributions in the 2025/26 season. The sentiment from Liverpool fans and analysts alike suggests that Rashford would not consider a move to Anfield due to longstanding rivalries.
