Liverpool could become one of the great obstacles for FC Barcelona in their intentions to reinforce the left wing in this summer transfer market. Beyond the fact that the 'Reds' seem to have planted themselves in their position of not letting Luis Díaz leave, one of the objectives of the Azulgrana team, they could also truncate their options with another specific name: Marcus Rashford.
Liverpool would explore their options to sign Marcus Rashford
According to the Daily Mail, the Anfield Road team would be considering making an offensive this summer market for Marcus Rashford. However, as stated by the aforementioned source, there is still nothing formal in this operation, only internal discussions about the feasibility of the signing.
From English soil, they also reduce the viability of this operation. The reason would be related to the fact that, despite the fact that Rashford is not in Rúben Amorim's sports project —so they are looking for a definitive exit in this same summer market—, the 'Red Devils' are probably not willing to strengthen one of their biggest rivals at a sporting level. An issue that adds special complexity to a possible agreement between 'scousers' and Mancunians.
Rashford insists with Barcelona: another 'wink' from the Englishman in the middle of the market
However, rumors of this type should not go unnoticed by an FC Barcelona that, as has been commented in recent days, would be interested in reinforcing its forward line with a left winger who, by the way, seems to be 'crazy' to sign for the Azulgrana club. Even, in every opportunity he has, Rashford makes a 'wink' towards the Catalan team, waiting for them to make a move for him this summer.
Now, will Barcelona end up signing Marcus Rashford in this summer window? Only the market will tell. For the moment, what does seem clear is the difference in position between both parties. Manchester United, although they want to get rid of the striker this summer, do not intend to do so under any conditions, since they are willing to sell him for an amount not less than €40M.
Barça's formula: loan without mandatory purchase option
On the other hand, there is FC Barcelona, a team that would be willing to acquire the services of the left winger, but under a loan agreement, without a purchase option and with flexible conditions. A formula that it is not known if it would be to the liking of the 'Red Devils', but that it would not be unreasonable for them to accept, valuing the imminent need they have to get rid of the expensive salary of a Rashford who earns approximately €18M gross per season.
An amount that United cannot afford to pay for a player whose role in the team is not leading. And some numbers that, by the way, he must reduce if he wants to join the Azulgrana team, which is currently still exceeded in terms of its salary margin.
