FC Barcelona is actively searching for a new left winger and is reportedly monitoring the situation of Marcus Rashford.
The Manchester United player is on the market for the upcoming transfer windows. Securing a left winger is crucial for FC Barcelona, as it would foster competition and provide some relief for Raphinha, a key player in Hansi Flick’s squad. Several options are being considered.
Potential Candidates
Currently, three notable players—Nico Williams, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Rafael Leao are emerging as potential targets.
However, the focus here is on Marcus Rashford (27), who may be leaving Manchester United. Journalist Dean Jones has pointed out that Barcelona is keeping an eye on Rashford’s situation.
Marcus Rashford, Transferable by Manchester United
According to sources from the newspaper Sport, Barça is aware of Rashford’s circumstances and that he will be available, but they have not yet taken significant steps towards a potential deal. It’s noted that Rashford is eager to join Barça and has made efforts to facilitate this move.
While he may not be Deco’s top priority, Marcus Rashford’s determination has caught the attention of the team. To make a move to FC Barcelona from the Red Devils, he will need to significantly lower his salary.
The Need for Reinforcement
FC Barcelona’s push to acquire a left winger is driven by the need to establish healthy competition within the squad and to give Raphinha, who has been instrumental this season, some much-needed rest.
Bringing in a player like Rashford could provide the team with valuable depth and versatility.
The dynamics of the transfer market and the financial aspects for both clubs will be crucial in determining if this transfer happens.
Manchester United’s choice to put Rashford up for sale indicates they are willing to part with him for the right offer. On the other hand, FC Barcelona needs to consider the advantages of bringing Rashford on board against the financial burden of his substantial salary.
