Barcelona Make Marcus Rashford Their Top Summer Target
In a stunning twist of the transfer saga, Barcelona have identified Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford as their clear number one target for the upcoming summer window. The news, reported by Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, has sent shockwaves through the football world as the Catalan giants prepare to make a bold move for the English forward.
Man Utd’s Summer Overhaul: Rashford Among Departees
Manchester United are in the midst of a significant squad reshuffle, with Rashford reportedly one of several players eager to leave Old Trafford. The Red Devils, who have only secured one major signing this summer in Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha (£62.5m from Wolves), are looking to offload a number of stars to fund further acquisitions.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano revealed on X: “Marcus Rashford, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia, and Jadon Sancho have all informed Manchester United of their desire to leave. The club has delayed their return date to late July to explore potential solutions.”
Romano further emphasized Rashford’s keen interest in a move to Barcelona, stating on his YouTube channel: “Rashford is very open to joining Barcelona. He’s been waiting for this opportunity since January. It’s not just Rashford wanting to leave—Man Utd are also pushing for his departure. Both the management and coach Ruben Amorim are aligned on this.”
Barcelona’s Green Light: Rashford in Their Sights
Plettenberg’s latest update confirms that Barcelona are ready to go all-in for Rashford. The La Liga giants, who initially targeted Liverpool’s Luis Díaz, have shifted their focus to the 27-year-old winger after receiving the green light from new manager Hansi Flick.
“Barcelona want to try again for Rashford and are prepared to make it happen,” Plettenberg wrote on X. “Talks are ongoing, and the club has the full backing of Hansi Flick. Rashford is set to leave Manchester United.”
What’s Next for Rashford and Man Utd?
With Rashford’s future hanging in the balance, all eyes are on how this high-stakes transfer saga will unfold. Will Barcelona secure their marquee signing, or will Manchester United find a way to retain their academy graduate? One thing is certain: the summer transfer window is heating up, and this story is far from over.
