Marcus Rashford has become a hot topic in Barcelona circles of late, especially after reports that Hansi Flick approved of the club’s pursuit of the player.
It seems that the German tactician is a big admirer of Rashford and wants to sign the Englishman this month as a possible replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
Rashford, meanwhile, has fallen out of favor with new coach Ruben Amorim. Barcelona is therefore looking for a market opportunity.
Manchester United issues an ultimatum to Rashford
A recent report from Diario SPORT has offered a fresh update on Rashford’s future, suggesting the striker could be ready for crucial talks with Man United this week.
Indeed, the Premier League giants have issued an ultimatum to Rashford, urging the Englishman to make a final decision on his future.
There is an alleged meeting on Wednesday between these two parties, which could be fundamental in determining the forward’s future.
United, for their part, will have no shortage of suitors for Rashford, who has gone unnoticed by several top clubs in Europe.
In addition to Barcelona, teams such as AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund have also been linked with an offer for the Englishman.
As things stand, Rashford appears to be prioritizing a move to Barcelona, although it will be interesting to see if the forward will be attracted by the sporting prospects of other clubs such as Dortmund and Milan.
This is relevant considering that Barça is only willing to sign the forward as an alternative to Lewandowski.
Flick could even consider him just a backup for two forward wingers, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. So, it will be interesting to see how things happen in the coming days.
