According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Marcus Rashford is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The newly crowned La Liga champions are scouring the market for a versatile attacker heading into the summer transfer window. So, the Manchester United misfit has emerged as a target for the Blaugrana.
Hansi Flick is the driving force behind Barcelona’s interest in the Englishman, as he believes “the player’s profile fits with his style of play”. Meanwhile, Manchester United will demand around €47 million to part ways with Rashford in the summer transfer window.
Marcus Rashford has been one of the most highly-rated attackers in the world for nearly a decade. While the 27-year-old has blown hot and cold since breaking into the first-team squad at Manchester United, his quality and potential remain undoubted. However, he has no future at Manchester United under Ruben Amorim.
Despite struggling for stability for much of the 2024/25 season, Rashford contributed to 20 goals in 41 appearances across all competitions for Aston Villa and Manchester United, finding the back of the net 11 times and providing nine assists. Meanwhile, the English international has piqued the attention of several European bigwigs, including Barcelona, with his resurgence at Aston Villa.
Barcelona’s interest in Marcus Rashford is understandable. The newly crowned La Liga champions are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit in the summer transfer window by signing a versatile attacker. With Ansu Fati not in Hansi Flick’s plans, the German tactician has demands a long-term replacement.
Rashford is on top of Flick’s wishlist, as the Barcelona manager believes “the player’s profile fits with his style of play”. The 27-year-old Englishman’s quality makes him an ideal foil for Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Robert Lewandowski. However, Barcelona may not be ready to meet Manchester United’s asking price of €47 million.
Recent reports have claimed that Barcelona would prefer a loan deal to sign Rashford from Manchester United. So, it will be interesting to see if the Red Devils are ready to accept that arrangement instead of holding out for €47 million to part ways with the English international in the summer transfer window.
