There is no longer any doubt, since the principal concerned has traveled in the direction of Barcelona on Sunday evening: Marcus Rashford will play at Barça next season. The Blaugranas, who were looking for a reinforcement for the attacking sector, should quickly formalize the signature of the 27 -year -old English striker, who arrives as part of a loan with an option to buy 35 million euros. The Three Lions scorer has made big wage sacrifices, in passing the Spanish champion.

But there too, the Catalan club faces problems. Indeed, English cannot yet be recorded in Liga and it is very likely that it is not possible to do so before the end of August. At the same time, Hansi Flick, who has already launched the summer preparation of his team, is looking for the best role for his new recruit, with whom he has already spoken several times on the phone.

Flick knows how to use Rashford

And as indicated Sporthe has already made two decisions concerning the English striker. First, he does not consider him as a potentially holder player. Flick wants to make Rashford an offensive joker capable of making differences by coming into play in the second period, but he should therefore start with few meetings. Then the German does not consider him a number 9.

Flick does not see in Rashford a lining or an alternative to Lewandowski, and he plans to use his new recruit on the left side of the attack, mainly asking him to transplant in the axis. Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres will be the players used in the absence of the Pole. The British striker therefore knows what to stick to. But there is no doubt that in the event of good performances, the FC Barcelona coach could review his copy and offer a more important role to Rashford.
