According to sources, Barcelona is seriously contemplating acquiring Marcus Rashford from Manchester United this summer. Rashford and his representatives have been considering a move to Barcelona ever since it became apparent that Ruben Amorim had no room for him in his first-team ambitions.
Rashford was successfully loaned to Aston Villa in January, and the club also agreed to a £40 million (€47.5 million) option to sign him long-term at the end of the current campaign. Rashford has his sights set on Camp Nou; thus, it has been widely assumed that he is not interested in staying at Villa.
Barcelona is now trying to find a way to complete the deal because the club’s management values the dynamic left-winger, according to the Catalan newspaper Sport.
According to reports, Rashford is prepared to accept a significant pay reduction in order to join Barcelona, who also want the England international to turn down any other offers. Because they think this will compel United to agree to their offer.
The La Liga team reportedly wants to sign the 27-year-old on a loan with a buyout option. They also want a modest percentage of his compensation to be paid by the Premier League’s biggest teams.
Hansi Flick pushing Barcelona to sign Marcus Rashford
It makes sense that Barcelona would want Marcus Rashford. Through the summer transfer window, the recently crowned La Liga champions hope to strengthen their offensive unit by acquiring a dynamic attacker. Hansi Flick has called for a long-term replacement because Ansu Fati is not part of his ambitions.
Flick has Rashford at the top of his want list because, in his words, “the player’s profile fits with his style of play.” The Englishman, 27, is a perfect counterpoint to Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal. But Barcelona might not be prepared to pay the €47 million asking price from Manchester United.
According to recent reports, Barcelona would want to sign Rashford from Manchester United on a loan. Instead of waiting for €47 million to part ways with the English international during the summer transfer window, it will be intriguing to see if the Red Devils are willing to accept that deal.
