Marcus Rashford will leave Manchester United in this winter transfer market, and the Englishman prioritizes an offer from Barça. The Catalans are unsure about signing him
Marcus Rashford has limited time left at Manchester United. The relationship between the forward and the 'red devils' is completely broken, and the club is looking for a way out for him during this winter transfer window. Teams like AC Milan and Napoli have shown interest in the player's situation, but he seems to have a clear preferred destination.
According to 'SPORT', the Englishman dreams of heading to Spain to join the ranks of FC Barcelona. The Blaugrana club is aware of the player's desire, who would prioritize an offer from them if received, but they are aware that this operation is practically unfeasible due to the high salary of the attacker, whose earnings would place him at the top of the team's salary scale.
However, the drama between United and Rashford could lead to a favorable solution for all involved. The Mancunians would be willing to part with their academy graduate through a loan with an option to buy, in which the player would need to lower his annual salary of 18 million euros, and the institution would cover part of his wages. A scenario that could 'unblock' the situation in the Catalan capital.
Milan pushes for his signing
However, the insistence of Milan could tip the scales in their favor. At San Siro, they have already contacted Marcus's camp to understand the terms of his operation, and for now, they are leading the race. Despite this, the player's desire to play under Hansi Flick, combined with Barça's plan to incorporate a left winger, could be key factors in this 'soap opera'.
Indeed, Rashford is highly valued in the offices of Spotify Camp Nou, where his goal-scoring ability and versatility are greatly appreciated. However, his alleged off-field issues pose a 'handicap' in the club's interest. As of today, the only certainty is that the Catalans are aware of the British player's desire, and although they have not yet taken action, things could intensify throughout this month of January.
