The club has identified main targets and is now considering options as plan B. As a sports director of FC Barcelona, Deco will be in charge of recruitments this summer. Regarding the wingers, he appointed Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford as the main targets of the club in this area, even if their arrival at Camp Nou will not be easy.
An agreement for Rashford will depend on the possibility for Manchester United to lend it again, while Diaz would prefer to stay in Liverpool. Given these situations, it is necessary to develop other options.
Barcelona identifies two other targets for the position of left winger
Rashford also wishes to join Barcelona.
According to Sport, two players enter this category for Barcelona: Gabriel Martinelli and Kingsley Coman. The first could leave Arsenal this summer, while Coman, expected for a transfer to Catalonia last summer, is also likely to be on the market.
The problem concerning these two players is that it would be difficult to reach an agreement with one or the other. The price requested by Arsenal for Martinelli is likely to be high, while Coman's wage requirements would probably be unaffordable for Barcelona, which is trying to clean up its finances.
At this stage, Rashford seems to be favorite to join Barcelona, and this would certainly be the case if Manchester United let him go on loan. It would be an excellent option to strengthen Hansi Flick's workforce before next season, given his performances (despite a lack of consistency) in recent years.
