Marcus Rashford Sets Deadline to Define His Future: Barça on Standby

The saga of Marcus Rashford and Manchester United is nearing its end. The coach of the 'red devils', Rúben Amorim, wants nothing to do with the Manchester winger and the club is seeking an immediate exit for him to avoid prolonging the 'agony', so it is expected that the situation will be resolved in the coming hours. 

In this regard, the British press reports that the offices of Old Trafford are already fed up with this case, and they have given an ultimatum to the forward to decide his destination as soon as possible. In fact, the latest information that has emerged about the player's future indicates that a meeting is scheduled between both parties for this Wednesday, January 15 to define the Englishman's future.

Barça, Against the Clock

This situation puts FC Barcelona between a rock and a hard place. The Catalans are tracking Rashford as Hansi Flick holds him in high regard and believes he would be a top-quality reinforcement for their attack. However, his high salary, valued at around 10 million euros, combined with the club's desire to bring in a star player like Alexander Isak or Dusan Vlahovic, complicates his arrival in the Catalan capital this January.

Given the indecision of the Blaugrana, it would be AC Milan that would lead the race for the 27-year-old player. The 'rossoneri' have insisted on his signing since the moment United put him on the market and they would have advanced negotiations to finalize his arrival if Marcus gives the definitive 'OK', while Borussia Dortmund also remains on standby. The coming hours will be crucial in one of the most important 'sagas' of the winter transfer window.
