Premier League forward still hopes for Barcelona move despite multiple offers

According to an update from La Vanguardia, it has come to light that although Marcus Rashford has received other offers, his desire is to play for Barcelona.

After Nico Williams decided to stay at Athletic Club, Barcelona have set their sights on other targets and if reports are to be believed, Rashford is one of the players they are considering for the winger position.

Both sporting director Deco and manager Hansi Flick agree that signing a new winger is the top priority this summer. 

Last season, the team depended too much on Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, and performances dropped noticeably when either of them was missing. This overreliance is something Barça want to fix quickly so they can fight for trophies again.

With Nico off the table, Rashford has emerged as the most realistic option. Sources close to the English star say he dreams of wearing the Barça shirt, even though other clubs have made offers. 

This determination gives Barcelona hope of landing him despite their limited budget. The club needs to act fast, as they want the new signing settled before the start of pre-season.

The deal is within reach

Manchester United’s stance could make things easier for Barça. Rashford no longer figures in United’s plans under new coach Ruben Amorim. He has even lost his number 10 shirt, which is set to be handed to Matheus Cunha. 

Last season, Rashford went on loan to Aston Villa, where he scored nine goals in 17 games. Despite his good form, Villa decided not to pay the €46 million fee to sign him permanently.

Now, Barcelona are working on a loan with an option to buy, which would cost around €40 million if triggered. This structure suits Barça as they aim to spread payments and stay within financial fair play rules. 

Rashford’s desire to move to Spain adds momentum to the deal, and if things fall into place, he could become the dynamic winger Barcelona have been searching for since the transfer window opened.
