It has been reported that Marcus Rashford, the talented forward for Manchester United, is eyeing a move to Barcelona. The latest buzz suggests that Rashford is even willing to take a pay cut in order to make this transfer happen.
Several clubs have expressed their interest in signing Rashford, who publicly announced in December that he was seeking a new challenge and was ready to leave Old Trafford. His brother and agent, Dwaine Maynard, has been in talks with AC Milan, but they have not been able to reach an agreement so far.
Other clubs, such as Juventus and Borussia Dortmund, have also shown interest in Rashford. In the Premier League, West Ham had considered signing him but have now shifted their focus to other attacking targets.
Rashford's main goal is to remain in Europe as he wants to improve his chances of getting back into Thomas Tuchel's England squad. He turned down an offer from the Saudi Pro League as he feels that playing in Europe will benefit his career more.
It is believed that Rashford's preferred destination is Barcelona. However, Manchester United is adamant that any loan deal would require the covering of more than half of his £325,000-a-week salary.
According to the Daily Star, Rashford is willing to take a pay cut in order to make the move to Barcelona a reality. The Spanish club is facing financial difficulties, which has made it challenging for them to sign players such as Dani Olmo and Pau Victor this month. Therefore, United would need to be flexible in order for Rashford to join them.
Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, has stated that the club is open to new signings, but their main focus right now is on the decisions they need to make on a day-to-day basis. He also mentioned that the coach is satisfied with the current squad, so any future decisions will be made at a later time.
It seems that Marcus Rashford is determined to leave Manchester United before the end of the January transfer window. With his willingness to take a pay cut and his preferred destination being Barcelona, it remains to be seen if this transfer will come to fruition.
