This is one of the files that animated this winter transfer window. Already in December, Marcus Rashford demanded his departure from Manchester United, tired by his status as a replacement and a bad smell of holiness in his training club. Ruben Amorim had publicly meant that he would not count on him, or in a sporadically. Go, but where? The English salary of 18 M € per season has long been an obstacle for its courtiers, Barça and Juventus in mind. After many twists and turns, it was finally on the side of Aston Villa that the 26 -year -old striker was loaned until the end of the season.
“”I had to choose a place where my style of play could flourish, where I could help the team and rediscover myself as a playerSaid the interested party to justify his choice. However, he would have preferred the Catalonia sun rather than the greyness of Birmingham. The interest was reciprocal with FC Barcelona. For a long time, the Blaugranas tried to attract him but they could not ensure the salary without risking a sanction of the liga due to the financial fair play. Or else, it would have been necessary to lighten the payroll by bringing one or more elements to the high emoluments.
The locker room did not want Rashford
It is undoubtedly better like that to believe the latest revelations of the podcast of Catalunya Radio,, Barça Reservat. According to the media, the Rashford case caused a lot of headache internally at Barça. If the sports management has thought about all the possibilities to make the English international (60 selections, 17 goals), the locker room was radically against his arrival. Many executives saw it as a lack of consideration on the part of the club, during the period of extension of contracts, and a wage bill to be monitored. Some have even feared that the new contracts will be put on hold in order to be able to sign the long -hoped recruit.
We are talking about very important players from the wardrobe like Ronald Araujo but also Pedri and Gavi, who have indeed ended up extending in recent days. It was time because the negotiations had started months ago. The annoyance of the Barça locker room could legitimately explain themselves, seeing management attempts to attract Rashford, in exchange for financial counterparts. An evil for a good because despite different formulas studied, Barça has backtrack and focused on the extensions of its players. She thus avoided a beautiful thorn that she would have put herself in the foot on her feet.
