Marcus Rashford decided to give new momentum to his career by joining Aston Villa this winter. Arrived at the Birmingham club as part of a loan with purchase option set at 48 million euros, the English striker had however been announced close to FC Barcelona.
Information confirmed by Deco, sports director of the Blaugranas, in an interview with the Catalan daily
SPORT. “It's true, we were talking about Marcus Rashford and it was a possible signature, but he could not come. We were not looking for a player at all costs. It was not a priority “said the Portuguese leader.
Among the rumors binding Rashford to the Catalan club, some also mentioned the non-annoyance of Ansu Fati as a brake on its recruitment. In parallel, other echoes also mentioned an interest in Olympique de Marseille for the Child of Manchester. However, such an operation seemed unimvailable given the salary of the player estimated at 18 million euros annually.
