Barcelona ‘go all out’ for Marcus Rashford after Man Utd ace ‘flirts’ with move; three exits to help unlock deal

According to a source, Barcelona is prepared to compete with AC Milan for the transfer of Marcus Rashford, a top player for Manchester United who is looking to leave the club.

Rashford’s representatives recently flew to Italy to conduct discussions with possible bidders Milan and Juventus, which hastened the process of Rashford’s departure from Manchester United prior to the month of January. The team representing Rashford is now receiving bids from all across Europe, and they are also anticipated to meet with the executives of Borussia Dortmund in the coming days.

On the other hand, the transfer story has taken an unexpected turn, with Barcelona making a late entry into the picture.

Barca are reportedly prepared to “go all out” in order to clinch the statement signing of Rashford, as reported by the Catalan tabloid Sport.

Hansi Flick’s team has reportedly “entered the bidding” for the Englishman, who has previously said that he is looking for a “new challenge” away from Old Trafford.

It has been said that Rashford has been “flirting” with a transfer to the Nou Camp over the past few days, and this has resulted in Barca showing a concrete interest in the football player.

In order to facilitate a permanent transfer to Manchester United in the summer, Barcelona is now formulating preparations to recruit Rashford on loan until the conclusion of the current season.

In Saudi Arabia, their sporting director, Deco, is organising conversations with both United and Rashford’s entourage. These negotiations are taking place simultaneously.

In light of the fact that Barcelona is already having trouble registering summer signing Dani Olmo, it is obvious that the club would need to improve their financial condition before they could acquire the 27-year-old custodian.

According to the source, Ronald Araujo, Ansu Fati, and Eric Garcia are three players that may be sold by Barcelona in order to free up space on the salary bill. This would allow Barca to save money.

Since Arsenal has ruled out Rashford, Barcelona has entered the race.
Arsenal are interested in Araujo, according to a report that was published by TEAMtalk on Thursday. However, Juventus is in a stronger position to get him.

This most recent news on Rashford comes at a time when there is a great deal of curiosity over the place that the striker will go next. Despite the fact that Arsenal has been said to be interested in making a shocking play for him, TEAMtalk contributor Ben Jacobs has taken action to dispel such rumours.

There is little doubt that Milan will be Barca’s most formidable rivals for Rashford. on point of fact, the Rossoneri are “serious” about Rashford, and they have made room on their roster by parting ways with Noah Okafor and sending him to RB Leipzig.

It has been stated that the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have been asked to be kept updated about the situation around Rashford. United, on the other hand, would much rather he leaves the country in order to avoid strengthening an English competitor.

Barcelona is now again interested in acquiring the Liverpool star, while United is considering a transfer to Spurs.

Barca does have other players in mind for the left wing position in the event that Rashford decides to pursue other opportunities.

The Spanish press reports that the Blaugrana are once again pursuing Luis Diaz in their pursuit of him. Diaz is said to have turned down a contract offer from Liverpool because he is still interested in joining Barcelona, according to reports.

Arne Slot was able to persuade the Colombian player to stay at Anfield, despite the fact that Barcelona has been a long-time fan of the player and had planned to recruit him during the summer of 2017.

In the meanwhile, if Rashford leaves United this month, the club will have to find a new forward to replace him. One of the players that Ruben Amorim is most excited to collaborate with is Randal Kolo Muani.

The Frenchman is now playing for Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham is interested in signing him. However, Manchester United is trying “everything possible” to accomplish a transfer hijack.

Soon, United and Spurs will begin official negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain on a loan-to-buy agreement for Kolo Muani.
