Barcelona’s interest in Marcus Rashford has been clear, but the club has not yet made a formal offer to Manchester United for the striker, as revealed by a Sport report.
While Barcelona is anxious to strengthen its team in the January transfer window, they are cautious when making an official approach until they can download some players to leave space for the arrival of Rashford.
The club is working hard this week to create the salary space necessary to accommodate a new firm, the main objective being Rashford.
Barcelona’s Management has communicated its intention to the player’s representatives, but it is unlikely that the agreement will occur until the last hours of the transfer window.
The club has already prepared a maximum proposal for the Rashford loan, but they are stop sending it to Manchester United until they are sure they can register it in time.
The key factor is now if they can leave it financially.
Barcelona is clear rashford
Until now, Rashford is the only option that Barcelona has followed in this transfer window to reinforce its attack.
The player himself has demonstrated his willingness to join the club, even suggesting that he would be open to making a financial effort to help facilitate movement.
Barcelona has already outlined the financial terms that are prepared to fulfill during the rest of the season, and Manchester United is expected to cover the rest of the cost, or the player can contribute from his own pocket.
A recent meeting in Lisbon between Barcelona and Rashford’s representatives confirmed the club’s interest in the English striker and reaffirmed that he would wait until the last day of the transfer window for a possible movement.
However, the Sports Department of Barcelona made no promise, since everything depends on whether they can download a player before the deadline.
They assured that they will continue working in the agreement, since the transfers market is expected to intensify in the next few days, with everything possible until the final moments.
Manchester United is aware that they will probably need to contribute to their salary, but its influence is decreasing as the days pass, which plays in the hands of Barcelona.
