Barcelona’s return to the 1:1 financial rule means the club is free to look for winter reinforcements who can add value to Hansi Flick’s project.
However, given their wage bill, an arrival is only possible if the club manages to engineer an exit as soon as possible and the Catalans look to sell Eric García or Ansu Fati to create the necessary space.
If they can get the necessary financial space, the plan is to strengthen the left wing, where they have Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford waiting for a possible move.
The player is willing to lower his expectations
Rashford is not in the best of situations in Manchester as he has been left out of Ruben Amorim’s plans.
An exit is the best for him, but Barcelona is the one that attracts him the most of all the options he has on the table.
As SPORT recently reported, the winger is willing to make financial concessions to secure his move to Catalonia before the winter transfer window ends.
This would imply that the player would accept a lower salary to play for Barcelona.
The club is trying to sign him on a six-month loan, as Flick values his ability to play in multiple positions, his versatility and his talent.
However, the outlet adds that Fati’s departure on loan alone will not provide the necessary space.
The Barcelona boss is convinced that Rashford can be a valuable addition to the team given the long and hectic schedule ahead, especially after Ansu Fati failed to provide the necessary depth in the department.
The options on your table
Matteo Moretto adds that Barcelona are expected to establish new contacts with the Manchester United star today or tomorrow to evaluate the viability of the operation. After all, the player is in a hurry to resolve his future.
His dream is still to play for Barcelona, but he also has Borussia Dortmund as an option.
However, the Germans are not willing to pay the amount necessary to close his signing, nor does Rashford see it as his first option.
If the transfer to Barcelona does not work out, staying at Manchester United remains an option. In such a scenario, his name could be on the table again in the summer.
