June 20, World Sports reported that Manchester United asked Rashford for 30 million, and Barcelona would rather rent it.

Although Barcelona and Nico Williams have reached a six-year oral agreement, this has not shaken Rashford's determination. The Manchester United winger, along with Nico Williams and Luis Dias, is on the shortlist of Barcelona signings, and is eager to play for Barcelona and believes that the club's sports department will take action.

Rashford's advantage lies in his versatility. His most natural position is on the left, but he can play in all positions on the front line. Although Ferran Torres is already in the team, Rashford still believes that he can become Lewandowski's center substitute.

The English star has made it clear to Barcelona that he is willing to make concessions at the economic level to facilitate the transfer. Currently, Rashford's contract lasts until 2028. Although Manchester United priced at 30 million euros, Barcelona is unwilling to pay the full amount. Lease plans are more popular, especially if players accept salary cuts. Barcelona paid attention to Rashford last winter window, but failed to advance due to financial restrictions.

In terms of tactical adaptability, Rashford can integrate freely into the Barcelona system, being good at attacking on the left, and playing the role of the pseudo-Nine or right-wing. Its iconic oblique run often breaks into the penalty area to pose a threat, and its long-distance counterattack ability is particularly outstanding. The player is currently on vacation in Marbella. In the second half of last season, Rashford was loaned to Villa by Manchester United. Villa coach Emery and sports director Monkey are interested in retaining it, but Rashford still prioritizes the possibility of joining Barcelona.
