FC Barcelona is determined to re-establish itself among Europe’s elite, and new signings are key to that goal. Under new manager Hansi Flick, the club is targeting players who align with both its tactical needs and financial limitations.
According to El Nacional, Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has emerged as a key target. The 27-year-old is reportedly open to a move after a subdued loan spell at Aston Villa and sees Barcelona as a club where his skills—speed, dribbling, and movement—would flourish.
Rashford is even open to an initial loan with a purchase option, a structure that suits Barcelona’s budget while giving them flexibility to assess his fit within the team.
The transfer idea has internal backing. Rising star Lamine Yamal is in favor of the move, seeing Rashford’s experience as valuable both on the pitch and in mentoring younger players. Manager Hansi Flick is also reportedly enthusiastic, viewing Rashford as a versatile forward who could slot in seamlessly as either a winger or second striker.
With Yamal’s support, Rashford’s interest, and Flick’s approval, the deal is gaining traction. If it goes through, Rashford could be the final addition to a revamped Barcelona frontline—another step in the club’s mission to return to the top of European football
