Manchester United are preparing to move Marcus Rashford in January after the forward expressed a desire for a new challenge.
AC Milan, once leading the race, have shifted focus, leaving Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund to battle for the England international.
Rashford prefers a move to Barcelona, but their financial struggles under La Liga’s 1:1 rule complicate matters.
To sign Rashford, Barca want to offload Ansu Fati, but the Spaniard has resisted leaving Camp Nou so far.
Dortmund are advancing quickly in talks, adding urgency for Barcelona to finalise their plans.
Rashford has not played since being dropped for the Manchester derby and is pushing for a swift resolution.

Barcelona could delay the process until February 3, but Dortmund are ready with a loan proposal this week.
SPORT states: “Barca cannot afford to rest on their hands in their attempt to sign Marcus Rashford.”
“His arrival at the Blaugrana club could be very complicated if the operation is delayed too long.”
“The reason for the urgency for Barca is the great interest shown by Borussia Dortmund in securing his loan.”
“Barça do not want to rush and the first intention is to close the exit of Ansu Fati so that Rashford can take his place.”
“But as long as the striker does not accept the exit, the arrival of a name that Hansi Flick likes very much becomes complicated.”

“Rashford does not want to be out of action for any longer.
Barca is the best option at all levels, but the club must ensure financial fair play to sign him.”
“It all depends on whether Rashford wants to wait for Barca until February 3 or opt for Dortmund this week.”
Hansi Flick admires Rashford, but Dortmund could capitalise if Barca cannot resolve their finances in time.
United prefer a permanent sale but may settle for a loan due to Rashford’s high wages and transfer valuation.
INEOS hope a loan will help Rashford regain form, boosting his summer sale value as pure profit for United.
