Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has become one of the biggest names in the Premier League transfer market ahead of the January transfer window.
The winger has had limited playing time under new manager Ruben Amorim, who appears to have frozen out the Englishman, prompting him to publicly declare that he is ready to leave the club.
Barcelona, for example, have been mentioned as a possible suitor for the Manchester United star given their search for a new left winger for next season.
Rashford prefers a transfer to Barcelona
Now, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano (h/t SPORT), the Englishman’s priority, if he leaves England, would be to play in La Liga, with his preferred destination being Barcelona because he believes he could better develop his football there.
Rashford and Manchester United appear set to part ways somewhat unexpectedly, despite the relationship having been deteriorating for months.
The Red Devils have made the decision to open the door to the departure of their youth player to save his salary, which is the highest in the squad.
Coach Amorim refrained from commenting in detail on the matter, but before the Boxing Day match, he suggested that the player’s entourage had been giving Rashford poor advice.
Manchester United is willing to sell the player for less than 40 million euros, but his salary exceeds 17 million net, a figure that no club in Spain is capable of assuming.
There have been links with Saudi Arabia and PSG, two destinations that could cover the cost of the operation.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are aware of the situation but have not made any moves yet. They recognize Rashford’s enormous talent and believe his style of play would suit the team’s needs.
However, the Blaugrana consider his signing to be feasible only if he is willing to reduce his salary by half, something they see as impossible.
The reality is that Rashford will have to decide whether to maintain his current salary or reduce it in order to fit into Barcelona’s sporting project.
