Rashford focused on Barcelona move with Flick's blessing

Following the Nico Williams setback, Barcelona are continuing their search to reinforce their attack. While Luis Díaz's name has been frequently mentioned in recent weeks, Liverpool's likely reluctance to sanction a transfer makes his arrival at the Camp Nou highly complicated.

In this context, Marcus Rashford has emerged as the frontrunner to land in Barcelona. The Englishman's name has also been circulating regularly of late, and his arrival at Barça appears more straightforward, as Manchester United have clearly placed him on the market.

Rashford is reportedly aware of interest from other clubs, including Juventus, but the Three Lions international, who enjoyed a successful loan spell at Aston Villa in the second half of last season, has made his intentions clear.

According to Matteo Moretto, the Manchester United player is only thinking about Barcelona at the moment, with this being the only option he is considering to resolve his future. He is also putting pressure on United to facilitate a potential move to the Catalan side, where he would be welcomed with open arms.

The same source indicates that Hansi Flick, the Catalan club's coach, has already given his approval to the board to accelerate the operation and bring the player to the club as soon as possible. It remains to be seen whether Barca will pursue a permanent transfer or a loan deal. In any case, it seems clear that Rashford, one of the Premier League's highest-paid players, would have to reduce his current salary if he wants to wear the 'Azulgrana' shirt.
