Tottenham Hotspur may have a golden chance to win the race for Marcus Rashford after details emerged regarding a clause in the Man United forward’s contract.Reports indicate that Spurs are looking to sign two wingers this summer, and it has been repeatedly suggested over recent months that Rashford is one of the players on Tottenham’s radar.Over recent days, it has emerged that Barcelona are no longer expected to pursue a permanent deal for the Spurs target after bolstering their left-wing berth by securing Anthony Gordon.That has opened up the race for Rashford’s signature, and the Lilywhites have now been handed another boost in their pursuit of the England international.Photo by Denis Doyle/Getty ImagesNew Marcus Rashford release clause can be activated by TottenhamThe Athletic have now confirmed that Barcelona’s £26m purchase option for Rashford has now expired, with the Catalan giants choosing against activating it.The forward thus faces uncertainty over where he will be playing his football next season, and United are only interested in entertaining permanent offers for their academy graduate.Interestingly, the report claims that a £40m release clause in Rashford’s Man United contract has now become active.The clause is applicable to all clubs other than Liverpool and Manchester City, and it is revealed that a number of Premier League clubs have already expressed interest in the player.Rashford could remain at Man UnitedThe Athletic say that as things stand, the 28-year-old is expected to return to United for pre-season next month, and it is unclear if a move may happen before the window closes.A return to Camp Nou has not been completely ruled out for Rashford, who is also attracting interest from other European clubs.However, the report asserts that if the England star does go back to United, his preference would be to honour the remaining two years in his contract at Old Trafford rather than joining another Premier League side.READ MORE: Tottenham have already fallen behind in Ayyoub Bouaddi race after World Cup showingThe post Tottenham can trigger Marcus Rashford’s new release clause but Liverpool cannot appeared first on Spurs Web.
