Barcelona has less than two weeks left before the winter transfer window closes to bolster their roster. This month, the Blaugrana have made Marcus Rashford of Manchester United their objective, and they are considering a loan move. The arrival of the 27-year-old Englishman will not be feasible, though, unless there is a salary and exit space available.
Due to Hansi Flick’s disfavor, Ansu Fati appeared to be the Catalans’ sacrificial lamb. But things have slowed down since he is reluctant to leave. Because of Girona’s interest, Barcelona is now willing to let go of defender Eric Garcia in order to make room for Rashford, according to SPORT’s Toni Juanmarti. Although the 24-year-old versatile defender is not a major component of Hansi Flick’s plans, the Blaugrana had first been hesitant to let him leave.

The economic disparities between Barcelona and Girona, however, remain substantial in terms of a deal for Garcia, according to Mundo Deportivo. According to the source, the Montilivi-based team is making a bid of about €10 million for the Spanish international, but Barça rejects that amount, particularly since Flick opposes the player leaving in the middle of the season.
Girona is still interested in the 24-year-old former Manchester City player, but they understand how difficult it will be to come to an agreement with Barcelona. In the days ahead, more communication between the two clubs is anticipated as they work to come to a mutually agreeable conclusion. Girona’s chances could be harmed by Real Sociedad’s entry into the competition and desire to sign Garcia.
