Manchester United's Marcus Rashford (28) wants to move to Barcelona.
Spain's "Sport" said on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) that Barcelona, which has made strengthening its offense a top priority through this winter's transfer market, has decided to recruit Manchester United striker Rashford as the top priority.
According to the article, Barcelona and Rashford have reached a personal agreement on a lease contract for the second half of the season. Dortmund in the German Bundesliga is also trying to recruit Rashford on similar terms, but Rashford wants to go to Barcelona and is willing to wait until the end of the market.
Rashford was put up for sale after the appointment of Hoobeng Amorim. He has lost trust from the club due to his poor form and unfaithful attitude.
Moreover, Rashford said in December last year, "I personally think I'm ready to take on a new challenge and the next step," adding that he did not regret the possibility of breaking up with Manchester United.
"When I leave Manchester United, I will leave without any negative feelings," he said. "I will not say anything negative about Manchester United. That's who I am."
It seems that Rashford's loan transfer to Barcelona will be completed at any moment, but the deal is being delayed. It is because of Barcelona's salary cap and Rashford's high salary.
In order for Barcelona to take Rashford, it needs to send an existing player to make room in the salary cap. Only then will it be able to afford Rashford's annual salary of 9 million euros (13.5 billion won), which is the second half of the year.
Initially, Barcelona was thinking of funds that would arise when Oscar Minguesa (Celta Vigo) was transferred to Aston Villa. When Barcelona traded Minguesa in 2022, it inserted the Selon 50% and buyback clause into the contract.
However, the plan has effectively fallen through as Aston Villa have decided to recruit Andres Garcia (Levante) instead of Minguesa. Another option is to send Eric Garcia, who has an annual salary of 6 million euros, to Girona.
Girona reportedly made a proposal worth a total of 10 million euros, including 7 million euros, to recruit Garcia. At the same time, Barcelona is optimistic that it will be able to adjust Rashford's salary partially through negotiations with Manchester United.
What is interesting is that even if Rashford moves to Barcelona, he is unlikely to play as a mainstay. Barcelona coach Han Ji-flick has Ansu Fati, Pauvictor, and Ferran Torres among his options.
In addition, 스포츠토토 it is analyzed that Rashford is likely to play as a substitute as Hafeeña and Robert Lewandowski remain firmly in Barcelona's offense.
If Barcelona fails to raise the necessary funds on time, Rashford's next destination is likely to be Dortmund. Tottenham, which was initially looking for Son's replacement, also showed interest in Rashford, but seems to have withdrawn at a huge 325,000-pound weekly wage.
