Since his return to competition after a knee injury sustained in mid-February, Marcus Rashford has faced a sudden downgrade at FC Barcelona. Long in the top 10 most used players of the season by Hansi Flick, the winger has fallen to thirteenth place, behind Dani Olmo, Frenkie De Jong and Ferran Torres, accumulating 2,320 minutes of play.
Despite the numerous physical problems facing the club, including the prolonged absence of Raphinha, the Englishman almost systematically starts on the bench and has only been started three times out of a possible twelve.
Behind these strong choices made by the staff, Barça is only confirming a trend put forward by the Spanish press in recent days regarding Marcus Rashford. The one according to which his adventure in Catalonia is coming to an end.
Barça no longer wants Marcus Rashford
According to the daily Sportthe option to purchase the player loaned by Manchester United, set at 30 million euros, will not be exercised by FC Barcelona. The reasons? “Ni the technical staff nor the sports director are willing to absorb a significant part of the payroll”, according to the Iberian newspaper.
The Red Devils also do not want to sell off their striker, tracked by Newcastle, which would push the Blaugrana to turn to promising options, and above all more affordable. The latest example being Andreas Schjelderup (Benfica Lisbon), valued at 20 million euros per
Transfermarkt.
