Marcus Rashford is the big star of this winter transfer window. The Englishman has been attracting attention since Manchester United clearly opened the door to his departure during the month of January. Saudi Arabia, Naples, West Ham, AC Milan and even Borussia Dortmund have looked into his case. But several of them were cooled by the demands of the Red Devils. In fact, the latter do not wish to pay part of the player's salary in the event of a loan. Which poses a problem for interested teams since the Englishman receives around €18 million gross per year.
Despite this, FC Barcelona has also positioned itself on the versatile 27-year-old attacker. Which may be surprising since the residents of the Camp Nou have serious financial difficulties. But they are seduced by the profile of the England international. A player who clearly wants to join them since he dreams of playing in La Liga and within the Catalan city. Despite everything, his brother and agent continued to discuss with other clubs at the same time. But Rashford only had Barça in mind.
Rashford agrees with Barca but…
Hansi Flick, who pushed his management to welcome the player, nevertheless cast a cold shoulder on the subject on Friday at a press conference. “I have often said that I am very happy with the players I have. Only three are missing. Iñigo Martínez, for a short time, Marc Bernal and Ter Stegen. I'm very happy with the team and the way all the players are performing. But the transfer window is the job of sports director Deco.” And obviously, he worked hard behind the scenes.
This Monday evening, Sport reveals that FC Barcelona and Marcus Rashford have reached an agreement. He would join the Spanish team on loan until June 30. But Barça will have to come to an agreement with MU and find solutions to respect financial fair play in order to settle the player's salary. Sport explains that Barça hopes to convince the Mancunians to cover part of the €9 million gross for the player's half of the season. The idea is also to complete some departures of players deemed undesirable to reduce the payroll. For his part, Rashford is ready to do anything to join the Culés, he who will wait until the last days of the transfer window to sign for the Blaugranas ensures Sport. This series still has a few surprises in store for us.
