Barcelona are interested in signing 25-year-old England international Marcus Rashford ahead of next season.
According to a report by Fichajes, Barcelona are keen on bringing 25-year-old Marcus Rashford to Camp Nou ahead of next season. The England international has been in red-hot form in the ongoing season, and a lot of clubs have been interested in his services.
Rashford’s contract is set to expire in the summer of 2024. Manchester United are giving it their all to agree a new deal with the 25-year-old in the coming months. The Red Devils are all set to give him the desired contract to keep him at the club.
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag has transformed Manchester United into a winning team. The Red Devils are alive in all four competitions thanks to their new manager. All this has been possible because of their marksman Rashford, who has been scoring goals for fun.
Ever since his return from the FIFA World Cup, he has been firing on all cylinders. The 25-year-old has decided games on his own. In the ongoing season, he has found the back of the net on 24 occasions in 37 outings. He also has nine assists to his name.
Meanwhile, Barcelona, who have recently suffered at the hands of Rashford in the Europa League, are interested in his services. Manchester United have already set out a price tag of €135 million for the 25-year-old. They fear losing out on him for free and as a result, might accept a proposal that meets the asking price.
Xavi has done a wonderful job as the manager of Barcelona. He has revived the Catalan giants and are leading the race for La Liga. But, they have been knocked out of European competition. And, Barcelona will aim to do better next season.
The Barcelona boss wants more firepower at his disposal and is keen on landing the England international. The 25-year-old’s arrival will bolster their attack. With Ansu Fati struggling to live up to the expectations due to injuries at regular intervals, breaking the bank for Rashford is the way to go.
However, it will depend on whether he signs an extension with his childhood club or not. While ten Hag will push for a renewal, things could go either way given the interest from the Catalan giants. But the money involved might instantly rule Barcelona out of the equation.
