Your President Joan Laporta has indicated that you would be “prepared” to pay his release obligation worth € 58 million [£50m].
Williams, who won Spain with Euro 2024, has increased his clause by over 50 percent in accordance with his new contract.
Barcelona had the 22-year-old as the top goal, will now be looking for a new left wing player, with Rashford having a possible option.
Talk sports reported in June that the Laliga champions explore a loan train for the Manchester United Star.
Head coach Hansi Flick believes that the versatility of the 27-year-old makes him an attractive response this summer.
Rashford has no future with United under Ruben Amorim, and it would be his dream train to join Barcelona.
The English international has worn the legendary No. 10 shirt for his youth club since the 2018/19 campaign.
However, the squad number has already been promised its new 62.5 million GBP, which Matheus Cunha signed.
Rashford only made six appearances for United under Amorim before he was loaned to the Aston Villa for the second half of the season.
Four goals and six templates in 17 games marked a strong magic of Old Trafford.

The villa had the opportunity to make its move permanently for £ 40 million, but this was not tracked.
Rashford last played for United in December during her 2-1 win in Europa League against FC Viktoria Plzen.
Shortly after his arrival of Sporting Lisbon in November, Amorim left him out of various matchday squads in November.
The winger actually scored the first goal of his term in his 1-1 draw in Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
However, Rashford seems to leave United before the next season.
He achieved 138 goals in 426 appearances and won two FA trophies, two Carabao trophies, the Europa League and the Community Shield.
