Barcelona have been heavily linked with Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford in recent weeks, and it seems highly likely that the England international will be on the move before the end of the January transfer window. Although they are running out of time to do so.
It seems that the Manchester United player will go out on loan for the rest of the season and, after interest from Juventus, AC Milan and AS Monaco, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona have become the favorites for his signing. Barcelona are reportedly Rashford’s preference and he will wait for them to make a move whenever he can.

Rashford’s representatives met with Barcelona sporting director Deco on Tuesday to discuss terms, and were told that the Blaugrana were interested in Rashford as a priority target, but that they must release players before doing so. Now Cadena Cope has revealed that the Blaugrana have until the end of the week (5 or 6 days) to complete the deal with Rashford, otherwise he will explore other options.
Raphinha has already racked up an impressive 25 goals and 9 assists this season. With 34 matches played and many months of competition still ahead of him, the Brazilian is on track to compete for all the major individual awards if he maintains this incredible form. @sport pic.twitter.com/Wu5RS9YTWP

Dortmund seems to be that other option, and Barcelona will need around €10 million to be able to sign Rashford on loan, based on his salary for the rest of the season, although that could change if United change their stance. The terms of the deal for Rashford have already been agreed today.
The two players who have been mentioned as possible departures are Ansu Fati and Eric García. The former has not had much playing time under Hansi Flick, but seems reluctant to leave the Blaugrana on loan. Garcia, on the other hand, has offers from Como and Girona, but Flick is reportedly interested in retaining the centre-back, who has often been used in midfield.
García showed how useful he can be against Benfica, scoring Barcelona’s tie at 4-4, and it was noted that he pointed at himself and went down to the ground, in what some interpreted as a ‘I’m staying here’ gesture. during its celebration. Garcia walked away from any “message” after the game, noting that he was simply celebrating.
