With six months to go and some work to do in La Liga to get back into the title race, Barcelona have identified the final third as the area they would most like to strengthen. Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford has become their main target, but as always with the Catalan giants, the numbers must add up.
The Catalan newspaper Sport claims that Barcelona is one of several clubs competing for Rashford’s signature, including Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and AS Monaco, but it is the English striker’s priority. The main obstacles are financing and the calendar for the Blaugrana. On Wednesday, Rashford’s brother was scheduled to meet with Manchester United to resolve his future and had set today as the deadline for Barcelona to confirm whether they could reach an agreement.

Barcelona know that a deal for Rashford would require them to sign another player and save or earn €6.5 million to pay his salary over the next six months. He would arrive on loan with a purchase option of 40 million euros, but would then have to reduce his annual net salary of 12 million euros if both parties wanted to reach an agreement.
The main candidates to be sacrificed are Eric García and Andreas Christensen after Ronald Araujo’s U-turn, or even Ansu Fati, who no longer seems to be in Hansi Flick’s plans. The German coach is reportedly the main sponsor of Rashford’s signing, and would join an attacking line made up solely of Robert Lewandowsk, Pau Victor, Raphinha, Fati and Ferran Torres as natural options in the center and on the left. .
