Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has become a top priority target for FC Barcelona to strengthen their attack in the winter transfer market. The need to add depth to the squad is a concern for both coach Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco, who consider it essential to have a reliable offensive alternative to face the final stretch of the season, especially in light of the possibility of injuries.

Rashford is a versatile player, capable of performing both as a center forward and on the wings, making him ideal for the team's style. However, the economic limitations of the Catalan club complicate the operation. The recent renewals of Ronald Araújo and Pedri have slightly helped to free up wage budget, but not enough yet to enable the arrival of the British player. Furthermore, Eric García's continuity and Ansu Fati's refusal to seek an exit keep the situation at a critical point.

Willing to make things easier by agreeing to reduce his high salary

Aware of Barcelona's financial difficulties, Rashford has shown a clear willingness to facilitate his signing. As reported by the newspaper Marca, the English forward is willing to significantly decrease his salary, currently around 18 million euros gross annually, in order to comply with the club's Financial Fair Play regulations. This stance demonstrates his genuine interest in joining Camp Nou, where he believes he could revitalize his career after experiencing a tough period at United.

Barcelona awaits key movements in the coming weeks, while Flick insists on the need to bolster the attack. The market closes on February 3, and all signs point to this deal being resolved at the last minute. Rashford prioritizes Barcelona over other suitors, but his arrival will depend on freeing up the necessary wage space to finalize the loan.
