FC Barcelona seems ready to strike a big blow during the next transfer window by targeting England international Marcus Rashford. Lacking playing time at Manchester United, the striker could bounce back in Catalonia this winter or next summer.
A Rashford-De Jong exchange considered
According to Todofichajes, negotiations between Barça and Manchester United are already underway for an exchange involving Marcus Rashford and Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong. The latter, rarely a starter this season, could be the key to this transaction. The two clubs are currently discussing the terms, although the operation seems more likely for the summer transfer window.
At the same time, other sources mention a loan for Rashford this winter. This formula would allow the English player to regain playing time in an ambitious team while offering an immediate solution to Barcelona to strengthen its offensive sector.
Barça in search of offensive reinforcement
The potential arrival of Marcus Rashford at Barça would respond to the club’s desire to acquire a versatile offensive weapon. With his speed and efficiency, Rashford could fit perfectly into Hansi Flick’s system. However, Barca’s delicate finances could complicate the operation, making the option of a loan particularly attractive.
