The news is rather good for FC Barcelona, which will formalize the arrival of Marcus Rashford in the coming hours. Already present in Barcelona for the traditional medical tests and the signing of his contract, English will try to relaunch during this loan in Catalan land. An exciting arrival for the player, but also for Hansi Flick, who had validated his arrival and who wanted to have him under his orders for a while already.
But, as often at FC Barcelona, there is a problem. And not least, since the English striker cannot yet be registered with the Liga. Same problem as with Dani Olmo last season, in short. The club is still not in good standing with the financial fair play in La Liga, and even if the final sale of VIP places in Camp Nou should help, it will also be necessary to sell.
Barça must degrease
And there are two candidates for a departure. First, Pau Victor. SuperDeporte Indicates that Valence wishes to attract the 23 -year -old striker. The Ches have made a loan offer, but the Catalan club wants a final sale of the player, which it could let go for only a few million euros. Beyond the financial logic, the arrival of a new striker definitively closes his doors in front of him, he who was only holder twice in La Liga last season. Iñaki Peña is in a similar case, and the porter is coveted by several Liga clubs. Its sale could also bring in an interesting little check.
Next comes the Christensen case. Today, he is the player on which Barça has the most to degrease. With a contract that expires in a year and a relatively high salary compared to its status in the team's hierarchy, their departure would not be too serious on the sporting level and would make it possible to release the payroll vis-à-vis the financial fair play of the Liga. With these departures and the final sale of VIP places from Camp Nou, FC Barcelona should not have any concerns to record Rashford.
