This is the file that drives the Barça transfer window, in the sense of arrivals at least. After settling the Dani Olmo and Pau Victor cases not without trembling, Barça received another piece of good news at the start of the month: the return to the 1:1 rule of financial fair play in La Liga following the sale of the famous seats Camp Nou VIP. Which will give a little more flexibility and room for maneuver to FC Barcelona for the next transfer windows.
It is therefore entirely possible to see the Barcelona recruits between now and February 3 and the end of the winter transfer window, and one name stands out: Marcus Rashford. The Three Lions striker wants to leave Manchester United, and Barca is his preferred choice. A more than reciprocal interest, with Hansi Flick who validated his profile according to various Iberian media.
Rashford must make a sacrifice
But there are still obstacles separating the Englishman from the Catalan club, mainly financial, due to the player's substantial salary. Barça still needs to free up some funds, via the sale of players, to have the sum necessary to pay a good part of the player's salary. Only, no one seems to be leaving at the moment. Ronald Araujo finally extended, Hansi Flick blocked the departure of Eric Garcia and Ansu Fati, the main candidate for a departure, has no serious suitor for the moment.
As indicated in the Daily Starthere is also another possibility: that Rashford agrees to lower his emoluments (he receives 18 million euros per season) significantly. The media indicates that it is a sacrifice that the 27-year-old striker is ready to make. He would therefore renegotiate a lower salary with the Red Devils, who would then loan him to Barcelona, and the two clubs should not pay that much money for the Englishman. To be continued…
