Marcus Rashford could be set for a move to Spain with Barcelona set to bid for the England international
Marcus Rashford’s unsettled situation at Manchester United has attracted the attention of FC Barcelona, who are reportedly preparing an ambitious bid to secure the England forward in the January transfer window.
With Rashford falling out of favour under new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, the Catalan giants are now exploring ways to bring the talented attacker to Camp Nou, potentially disrupting an existing loan negotiation with AC Milan.
Barcelona set to make Rashford move
The Catalans’ sporting director, Deco, has identified Rashford as a prime candidate to bolster the team’s forward line, and they appear ready to pull out all the stops to complete the deal.
According to reports from Spanish outlet Sport, Barcelona are considering a loan move with an option to buy, as long as they can find some salary space within their squad.
To accommodate Rashford, Barcelona may offload players like Eric Garcia, Ronald Araujo, or Ansu Fati, clearing the way for the Manchester United star.
Barcelona’s interest shows that Rashford is still highly valued outside Manchester United thanks to his proven goal-scoring ability, with the forward capable of playing on either wing or as a central striker.
Rashford eager for new challenge outside Manchester United
The England international has been candid about his desire for a fresh start, expressing his readiness to move on from Manchester United.
Despite being a key figure for United in recent seasons, he has struggled for regular game time under Amorim, starting just six matches and scoring three goals this term.
Despite not playing in six consecutive matches for Manchester United, Rashford is still keen to leave on good terms, saying, “When I leave it’s going to be ‘no hard feelings.’ You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me as a person.”
Barcelona will have to contend with other suitors like AC Milan, Juventus, and Borussia Dortmund for Rashford’s signature, as his next move could significantly shape his career trajectory.
