The intention of FC Barcelona to incorporate a left winger during this summer market is beginning to take shape. In this sense, the azulgrana team would have already sent an offer to Manchester United to acquire the services of the English international Marcus Rashford.
According to the information disclosed by The Ahtletic, Barça presented a proposal to the Old Trafford team through intermediaries. It is based on a loan that would include a non-mandatory purchase option for the 27-year-old attacker.
Likewise, he added that the 'red devils' would have given the green light to the request of the azulgrana team. However, the final agreement is not yet sealed.
The conversations between the parties are in advanced stages, so a pact to allow the player's departure could be unlocked imminently.
Thus, the left winger came to the forefront after the option of Luis Díaz was fulfilled because Liverpool demands at least 80 million euros for the Colombian player.
Hansi Flick has already spoken with Rashford
In this context, the coach of Barça, Hansi Flick, would have already held contacts with Marcus Rashford; in addition, the coach is in favor of the incorporation of the English winger.
Flick believes that the player has the qualities to become a fundamental element on the left wing, where he will have to compete for the place, if he arrives at Camp Barca, with Raphinha. He can also play in the demarcation of the center forward and on the right wing.
With this movement, the sports management would give the German technical director the necessary pieces to continue preparing the squad for the 2025/26 season, after the Catalan team managed to be crowned champion of LaLiga, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup last season.
Barça refines details for Marcus Rashford
Although the signing of Rashford is on track, Barça still has to negotiate the conditions of the loan with United, since the player earns around 20 million euros per year.
However, the left winger's desire to wear the Barcelona shirt is so great that he would be willing to lower his emoluments to fit into the salary mass of the blaugrana team.
Days ago it was revealed that Barça would want Marcus to extend his contract (which expires in 2028) with Manchester United to adjust his salary to the current economic situation of the entity, which would imply an estimated reduction of 25 to 30 percent compared to his current income.
From the offices of Camp Barça, it is considered unfeasible to assume a salary higher than 4 million euros for a loaned player, especially in a context where the club continues to exceed the salary limits imposed by LaLiga.
Rashford has value: Manchester United asks for 40 million
From Barcelona they have always considered the option of the loan that does not include a mandatory purchase, mainly because the 'red devils' team would demand between 40 and 45 'kilos' for the left winger and Barça would not be interested in paying that amount for Rashford.
However, the clubs are negotiating the possibility of including a compensation in case Barça decides not to exercise the purchase option for the winger. All parties are interested in the movement being completed.
Marcus Rashford is not counting on the coach of Manchester United, Rúben Amorim, and is training separately from the rest of his teammates. In addition, the destination that most attracts the player is Barça, while he has not even been moved by the interest of other giants such as Juventus of Turin.
