According to Diario AS, Marcus Rashford’s role at FC Barcelona could be about to change dramatically. What initially seemed like a straightforward winger role for the England international is now evolving into something far more central literally.
After several intense training sessions and a handful of preseason friendlies under Hansi Flick, the Barça boss has been impressed by Rashford’s pace, physicality, and sharp movement in the final third. Flick now sees him as a genuine No. 9 option, capable of leading the line rather than just stretching defenses from the flanks.
This tactical shift comes at a crucial moment for the Blaugrana. The club has officially confirmed that Robert Lewandowski will miss the Joan Gamper Trophy due to muscle discomfort a blow for fans hoping to see the Polish striker in preseason action. But in football, one player’s absence is another’s opportunity, and this could be Rashford’s golden chance to stake his claim as Barcelona’s new central attacking threat.
With the La Liga season looming, all eyes will be on Rashford in the coming matches to see if he can adapt to the demands of the striker role and give Flick a powerful, versatile weapon up front.
